Music Video: Soft Pyramids - “Around This Town"

Somerville’s Soft Pyramids have debuted a new music video for “Around This Town”, the second single off their 2014 release Fossils of the Free World. The DIY video was recorded in the band’s practice space, The Napoleon Complex. “Around This Town” is a clean, classic Tom Petty type rock and roll song and one of the stronger tracks on an otherwise dreamy record. Ideal for nighttime rides on the highway.

12” vinyl and digital downloads of Fossils of the Free World can be purchased via Bandcamp.

OBERON Presents: BRING US YOUR WOMEN

Tickets available now.

An evening of music, film, and dance celebrating historical, holy, and mythological women.

Bring Us Your Women will present a live program of music, dance, and film premieres at ART’s Oberon Theater in Harvard Square on Friday, February 27th with an international cast and crew of musicians, filmmakers, visual artists, dancers, and poets. The program looks to share the untold, recontextualized, or reimagined stories of iconic women including Joan of Arc, Sirens, the Queen of Sheba and Eve, who have often been overlooked or defined only by their role in the context of men.

Bring Us Your Women is the brainchild of guitarist-composer Catherine Capozzi and includes local musicians Sophia Cacciola (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling), and Michael J. Epstein (The Michael J. Epstein Memorial Library, The Motion Sick).

Tickets are available now via this link.

Listen to the Entire Superglue 1998 S/T Record

"Pop punk with marvelous keyboard sounds (equals) superglue"

Big news you guys! Someone uploaded the entire Superglue S/T record to YouTube two years ago and we just found out!

I mean, I've got my own copy (#streetcred) but now you can listen too!

If Weezer and Math the Band had a lovable cousin, it would be the short-lived Boston-based band Superglue. Formed in 1997, the 6-member ensemble recorded one 15-track record in 1998, released via Fork in Hand, before breaking up shortly after. The album now boarders obscurity. So lapsed that the top Google searches for "Superglue Fork in Hand" rendered discography listings and some half-witted guy named Alex Biffen's Twitter status. If only he knew he was channeling the great, late Boston band.

Don't be an Alex, listen to the album in its entirety (including the secret track!) on the video streaming site while simultaneously referencing interpunk.com to know exactly what track you're listening to.




Unedited Fan Testimonials

(5 stars) "I can't believe it that no one ever writed a review about this album!!Fuck the "Reggie and The Full Effect" & "the Reunion Show"!!!they suck!!Superglue is definite ten times better than them though they broke up!!Buy this album!I promise you will listen to it again and again ~~ "pop punk with marvelous keyboard sounds" = superglue"

Overseas, Diger, Old Flings and Camiches Release International 4-way Split

Costa Rican pop punk bands Overseas and Diger have collaborated with Old Flings (NC) and Camiches (Mexico City) to release an international DIY 4-way split.

A combination of networking and touring brought these four bands together. “Overseas and Diger share the same drummer. I'm booking a Central American tour for Camiches in July and they’re booking a Mexican tour for Overseas and Diger in September,” explains Overseas bassist, Alejandro Guerrero. As for the American band, “We played the same show [with Old Flings] in Montreal in 2014 at Pouzza Fest, as soon as the idea of the split came out I contacted them and they really liked it.”

The unique record contains four tracks, layered in English and Spanish, created by bands with similar sounds and a desire to spread awareness of new music from various countries.

4 Way Split can be downloaded for free on Bandcamp.
