[bandcamp width=700 height=42 album=3131815509 size=small bgcol=ffffff linkcol=e99708 track=523491729] Dear all bands: it’s a good idea to name your album Greatest Hits even if it’s all new stuff. Confidence is attractive! So, occasionally I write about bands that aren’t from the
The Great American Canyon Band
The Great American Canyon band’s music has always dipped into the ethereal, a vast soundscape littered with reverb, space, and a light-as-a-feather vocal track. “Crash” is the first song off of the Baltimore husband and wife duo’s debut LP “Only You Remain”, which comes out February 19, 2016
South of France
This new track from Denver, CO’s romantic dream-pop duo South Of France is one that’s been jumping out at me lately. It has a deluge of reverb-soaked harmonies, huge bombastic chunky basslines, that’s filled out with drums, synths and some lovely “oooooooohs.” When the song hits it’
Kevin Devine
Brand new tune from Kevin Devine off of a split vinyl single he did with Cymbals Eat Guitars. Feast your ears on “Magic Magnet,” an up and down rocker, that would seemlingly fit in well with his 2013 record, Bubblegum. The limited run ep’s are available on Bad Timing

Josh Ritter
Ritter preaches us stories in the style of, “messianic oracular honky-tonk.” Upbeat rock, haunting songs of murderers, promiscuous teens, and sinners abound. It’s an adventurous, folk-rock album with a shiny veneer that hides behind it darker almost apocalyptic feelings with a humorous tone. Buy, Stream, Download now. * Reminds us

What are you Boston folks doing Sunday night? Music Savage is heading to the Sinclair in Cambridge to spend some time with one of our favorite boot-wearing, ass-kicking, country-singing, musicians, Nikki Lane, and we would like to invite one lucky reader and their guest to join in on the fun.

Every so often, you’re presented with an opportunity to see an artist who would on any other given night be performing in a much bigger venue for a much bigger audience, do their thing in an intimate setting with only a few other lucky individuals beside you. Such was

October 7th was a special night for the Music Savage gang. Two of our favorite troubadours shared the bill at one of our favorite stomping grounds in the Greater Boston area. Brooklyn’s Christopher Paul Stelling and Massachusetts native Dan Blakeslee brought all the Newport Folk energy they both collected
One of my favorite things to write about on this blog is Boston bands; even better when it’s Boston bands that I know and go to see often. Today is one of those days! The Digs are about to release their brand-new album, Manic, and you should know about
