Fjords

Fjords is a drone guitar-keyboard duo. Within 20 days of being a band they had their first show and album release “The slow death of Allison Archer”. This first set of tracks intended to be dark and almost evil. On the other hand, their second EP “April Fjords” was more inclined towards a minimal feel.

The duo practices in the Piano Row suites. A neighbor ritually complains that it sounds like a leaf blower is going off. The band jokes that when they play shows no one comes, but it’s a great excuse to play fucking loud.

Despite their jokes, this past Tuesday they played an amazing show at the Church with Spectrum (Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3). The Booker was actually inspired by Fjords to book the show.

SHOW PREVIEW: Royal Blood LIVE @ The Middle East (Upstairs) APRIL 6TH

These guys are pretty damn awesome, as one of the only Emerson based bands our staff seems to be down with and we're (well, at least I'm) pumped for their headlining show at the Middle East. Their overall sound is a little hard to pinpoint, a bit of pop punk, homefried country, and a light dusting of metal jams... living somewhere between Pavement and The Descendants and just a stones throw away from Karp. With their arms length library of quick high energy zingers, you can always rely on Royal Blood to put on a good show. They'll be heading into the studio soon and we're looking forward to it's release.

However, while you're drooling all over your keyboard waiting for a full album check out their bandcamp AND be sure to head out to Cambridge for their show on April 6th at the Middle East upstairs.

**Pellytwinz Presents**BROOKLYN MEETS BOSTON @ GREAT SCOTT Feb. 21

Q: Where can I see audibly-fantastic Boston and Brooklyn bands play tomorrow night?
A: The Great Scott for the second installment of  the **Pellytwinz Presentz** monthly showcase.

Easter Vomit

We're stoked to see distort-rockers EASTER VOMIT play with Boston locals Ming Ming, Rene, and Free Pizza, with Coralcola DJing between sets.  This show is part of a Brooklyn-meets-Boston series created by Liz and Jenn Pelly, a pair of counter-culturally conscious twins who, for lack of better words, know what's up. As avid readers of their music blog, we found out about the show and were lucky to get an interview with Mike of Easter Vomit for our New Music Show this past Friday. We talked about their favorite Brooklyn bands [MIX-TAPE], about their upcoming 7" off of Blood of Jesus Records, and about Mike's alien-indifference towards the release of The King of Limbs. (whoa!) What could be a better way to celebrate our U.S Presidents (Wooooo John Adams!!!)?? SEE YOU THERE!!

18+ 7$ 9pm @ The Great Scott (1222 Commonwealth Ave Allston, MA 02134) XL Recordings are going to be there handing out free pizza and free posters/records.
