Leave a CommentThe WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight is brightly focused on the killer new single, “Hanging In,” off the upcoming album, The More I Sleep The Less I Dream, from Edinburgh’s We Were Promised Jetpacks. We have been huge fans of the Scottish band since their outstanding debut album, These Four Walls, was released in 2009.
Since that time it’s been a hectic few years of writing, recording and touring for the band. With 2011’s In the Pit of the Stomach and 2014’s Unravelling the guys have traveled the world numerous times over, growing their fan-base exponentially in every country they visited. That kind of non-stop schedule would take a toll on anybody! They returned home to reconnect with family and focus on writing the new record, which will be self-released on September 14th.
We Were Promised Jetpack are Adam Thompson (vocals/guitar), Michael Palmer (guitar), Sean Smith (bass) and Darren Lackie (drums), and as I have said many, many times here on the site…these guys are a force to be reckoned with live! We are very fortunate here in Boston because they frequent our city on a regular basis and will return once again on Friday, October 26th for a stop at Brighton Music Hall.
One word. GO!

Leave a CommentThis week’s WFMO X Music Savage Show “Song of the Week” spotlight is focused on the stunning single, “Staring Out The Window,” from Austin-based musician Erika Wennerstrom.

Leave a CommentOn July 10th Erin Rae and her incredible band brought the tour for her new album, Putting On Airs, to City Winery in Boston and as this record is one of the Music Savage gang’s favorites of the year, we simply had to head out for a Tuesday night show to hear the new songs come to life in this intimate venue. We have been following the career of Rae for some time and have watched as she has gone from being known as Nashville’s best kept secret to Nashville’s next big thing. The audience on this stop saw a…

Leave a CommentPhilip Dickey from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin has had this project simmering for a number of years, and FINALLY launching a record, and I’m psyched to finally get to hear songs that are successors to one of my favorites, their Ghoul School EP. The sound on “Club Sauce” is sugary sweet pop expose into the world of MOOG synths and sounds, as they put it “if John Hughes directed Blade Runner.” Check out Club Sauce, and do them a solid and pre-order their upcoming record Double Line which is out August 17th on CD, LP, Cassette and obviously…
