newport folk
It’s our favorite time of the year here at Music Savage. We anticipate Newport Folk Festival for three hundred and sixty two days… and here we are. Ready to run back n’ forth between stages in hopes of catching all of the bands on the list we have so
False Heads
UK trio False Heads have released another rock ass-kicking in the form of a new single titled, “Slew,” that pretty much shores up their status as the keepers of the British punk rock flame. You think that’s hyperbole? Go ahead and press play on that track up there to
Bo Rocha
I am a sucker for a song with heavy beats perfectly mixed together with an amazing voice. With that secret shared I will admit that when I pressed play on the latest single, “Enough For You,” from London-based musician/producer Bo Rocha, I simply had to post the track here
live and learn
Those lovable rock scoundrels The Silks are — thankfully — at it again. A PVD-based southern-rock/blues/country band “that makes you want to go buy a Firebird and drive around with the T-tops off while pumping your fist in the air”(that’s right, I just quoted myself from 2.5
Pixies
Boston’s rock n’ roll scene changed a great deal back in 1986 when our beloved Pixies formed and began to build an alt-rock legacy with the release of their debut album, Surfer Rosa, two years later. We all know the tumultuous story behind the band’s history so there’
Courtney Barnett
Courtney Barnett likes to have fun in her videos and I believe fun videos make the world a better place, so here’s the Aussie rockers new one for her excellent song, “Elevator Operator,” from her smashing debut album Sometimes I Sit and Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit. It’
Maggie Rogers
Admittedly we are a bit behind the proverbial eight-ball here on this amazing song from recent NYU graduate Maggie Rogers but as the saying goes better late than never. “Alaska” has been described as a folk/dance hybrid, and it most certainly has that going on in abundance, and yet
Breanna Barbara
The year of women who are kicking serious musical ass continues on this beautiful morning with the latest from Brooklyn-based musician Breanna Barbara. In this video by Joshua Shoemaker, Barbara performs “Nothing But Your Lovin” a spaced-out, blues-tinged, country rocker with Matt Menold of Clear Plastic Masks, Richard Harper and
Basement Revolver
Hamilton, Ontario trio Basement Revolver have released a great new single called “Words” off of their upcoming self-titled EP, out July 15th via Fear of Missing Out Records. The second track comes a few months after the band dropped their debut song, “Johnny,” which received quite a bit of well
Shovels & Rope
To say we are excited to get new music from Shovels & Rope is an understatement and we are super happy to share the super-fuzzy new single, “I Know,” with y’all today. The new album, Little Seeds, won’t be out until the autumn weather arrives so we have
585
To say we were excited to experience Black Pistol Fire last week at the Sinclair is an understatement. I’ve certainly experienced their records, but having not seen them, I prepped myself catching a boatload of videos of their live shows. It’s obvious listening to their records the live
joe purdy
All hail the return of the protest song. Joe Purdy brings back songs that cut to the root of our issues and plead that we all treat each other as we should—with tolerance and kindness. It’s time for our music to mean something again. This is an important
