WTF Radio 92.9 FM...

Tell us how you really feel... When you hear the word "spring", some might think beer gardens, others may revel in parking ban lifts, Radio 92.9 FM went for cleavage. This morning, Boston's alternative radio station that "plays more music and less blah blah blah" posted this picture on Twitter with the caption "Welcome back Spring!". Pure class and noted.

According to the station's bio, "Our music geeks are connecting Boston’s passionate music fans and keep you up to date with music news, concerts info, and chances to meet and hang out with the biggest artists in Alternative." And inappropriate, audience alienating, tasteless commentary.

The Stereo State - Just Kidding

Holyoke's The Stereo State have some bad news.

After announcing an indefinite hiatus after their FEST appearance in 2013 and a surprise resurgence a year later, Holyoke's The Stereo State was back in the game, scheduled to open for Banquets in Allston and play Montreal's notorious Pouzza Fest this year.

Unfortunately, the melodic punk band took to Facebook (again) tonight to break news of changing plans.

Per the band's Facebook page:

"Unfortunately we are not going to be able to play May 15th in Allston or head North for Pouzza Fest, sorry about that, we are very bummed! Thank you to @ryanagate and everyone at @pouzzafest for having us, we'll make it up later this year or next year! We do have a release to announce very soon, so stay tuned for that! In the meantime, I'm going to have my baby girl and we are continuing to write a killer fucking record!-Andy & TSS"

Which leads us to the question, #‎TSS2015‬?

Follow the band on Facebook for further details.
