NEW LAGWAGON ALBUM IS COMBINING LIFE'S VINEGAR AND HONEY

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

HANG (available now)GENRE | PUNK (MASTER'S DIVISION)LABEL | FAT WRECK RECORDS It's been nine years since Lagwagon's last proper LP, and that's because of lead man Joey Cape's creative sincerity. Countless bands produce an album, and spend the next few years and albums trying to capture that first charming buzz. Lagwagon took their time and it shows. Hang is the four-block shape in Tetris you wait anxiously for, but when it arrives, its a perfect fit, harmoniously restoring order.
AFI'S JADE PUGET

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

AFI have been called hardcore, skate-punk, goth-punk, melodic hardcore, and more ... but really, they're just a very talented band creating deep, rich layers of sound. They've churned out music for over 2 decades, never settling in their ways. They're releasing a new album, Burials, due out on October 22 and are continuing their North American tour in Boston this Monday, October 7 at Royale.
WEEZER AT SINCLAIR

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

Waiting in the will-call line for my ticket to the Weezer show I overheard a fellow fan's conundrum: "Mike from the fourth floor offered me $500." Her friend replied, " I was offered box seats to the Sox versus Yankees next season." When Weezer stops through Boston, it's typically a hot ticket. Being at The Sinclair -a 525 capacity joint that, no surprise, sold-out-and holding tickets for Sunday night's intimate show could have landed you in a Shriner's hospital.
RAY CARLISLE OF TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

Teenage Bottlerocket are making skate a threat again. Hailing from Laramie, Wyo., Ray Carlisle is perfecting simplicity. Their debut album on Fat Wreck Chords is fast, upbeat and a precise breath of fresh air to the wart- and fashion-concerned punk rock scene. You'll never feel lost with them, as they're dedicated to their mobile mapping device. DO YOU WRESTLE BEARS? A lot of fly fishing. My 3-year-old son, Milo, and I usually hit up a lake with the bobber and worm.
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES CHIME IN ON ARTS MATTER DAY

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry |Susanna Jackson

Image By Scott MurryBack in July, at the Gubernatorial Candidates Forum on Arts, Culture, and Creativity in Worcester, Martha Coakley talked herself in circles and Charlie Baker was a no show. With Election Day edging closer, Coakley (D) and Baker (R) have firmed up their respective stances on the arts. It would be nice to think that the engagement is of their own voltion.
POINT BREAK LIVE! AT THE SINCLAIR

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

Point Break Live! is an absurdist stage adaptation by Jaime Keeling based on the 1991 Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze cult surf/skydive/bank-robbery film. After a steady growing of one-night stands and mainstays in LA and Brooklyn, the parody play made its debut in the Hub last Saturday night as a one night only showing. The performance sold out at the Sinclair in Cambridge and brought a lot of big weird fun to a libation-loving, enthusiastic bunch of non-surfers.
LAGWAGON AND SWINGIN' UTTERS AT BRIGHTON MUSIC HALL

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

"Awesome. Pretty packed for a Wednesday night," said Lagwagon lead man Joey Cape. "Nicely done, Boston."With fellow Fat Wreck Chords label mates Swingin' Utters in tow, Brighton Music Hall was filled with young and old punks alike - the mix of black hooded sweatshirts, from Pennywise to Teenage Bottlerocket, highlighted the range.
SOCIAL STUDIES WITH ARTIST PAT FALCO

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

Wandering Boston's South End, I am enjoying temporary art installations with the artist Pat Falco. As part of his fall residency at the Boston Center for the Arts, he's hand-painting text-based signs this month and placing them in choice public areas.
FALL PREVIEW 2014:

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

It's a real downer when summer promptly abandons us in September. It's a cruel time of year, but keeping our spirits warm as the cold weather returns is Petsi Pies. From their Beacon Street bakery just beyond Inman Square, founder Renee "Petsi" McLeod and crew will soon be bring back the seasonal apple pear cranberry pie made with candied walnut topping. And that hardens our crust. It's due out on October 1.
TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET: ANOTHER WAY

Aug 9, 2024 | digboston.com | Scott Murry

GENRE | SNOTNOSE PUNKLABEL | RED SCARE RECORDSI know that with kids, you're supposed to show pride in everything they do. Teenage Bottlerocket is not my child, but they are near and dear to my heart. The band as of 2011 is a track star, writing for the school paper and a card-carrying member of the National Honor Society to boot. This album is reissued from 2004 and includes some out of print 7″ material. Basically, this is like the album that they would've made as sophomores in high school.
