Album Review of Viruette: Your LacunaViruette is a Boston-based indie rock outfit with a very cool, uniquely original sound. I dug into Viruette’s off-kilter delivery last year in my review of the band’s EP Waylaid in Aspic.

But it can serve as a reminder and a rallying cry for those who attended. I’ve seen social media posts, like this one, asking where all the protest songs are. Well, this is one.
