by Michael McCarthy I went to the Marvelous 3 show in Boston. It was quite marvelous indeed. To tell you the truth, I had slightly mixed feelings going into the show because I do much prefer Butch’s solo stuff over M3 but as soon as they hit the stage and started playing “Little Head” I…

by Michael McCarthy (Beaulieu) & Jay Cavalon First of all, I’m sure some of you will think that we’ve put some of these albums in the wrong categories. To that end, all we can say is that the best albums often transcend genre classifications and that this was what we came up with after careful…

I loved Suzanne Santo in honeyhoney. I listened to their First Rodeo album on heavy rotation when it came out and still play it from time to time. And if her new single “Ghost in My Bed” is any indication her next album will be just as amazing.

I caught Jenny Lewis live in Boston at the The Wang Theatre in Boston this past Tuesday night, 9/13/16. What a fantastic show. It was one of her 10th anniversary of Rabbit Fur Coat shows, Rabbit Fur Coat being her first solo effort. The album featured the exquisite Watson Twins on backing vocals and they…

Lately, new release day has been so ho-hum. The things I like tend to just creep out, sometimes on new release Friday, other times on the old new release Tuesday schedule….

It’s possible that more than half the people who’ll read this review have never even heard of Butch Walker. But he’s been one of my favorite artists for as far back as I can remember. When I was just a teenager he was the lead guitarist in a hair band I was really into called…

Like “Bed On Fire” and “21+,” two of the previous cuts to be unleashed from Butch Walker’s upcoming album Afraid of Ghosts, “Father’s Day” starts off nice and mellow and gradually builds. It’s almost like having a conversation with someone that starts off as casual chit chat but then there’s that spark, that chemistry that…

Butch Walker is one of today’s most incredible singer/songwriters and producers. But Ryan Adams produced this track, as well as the rest of Butch’s upcoming album Afraid of Ghosts, giving it a haunting hue through which Butch conveys a whole lotta emotion. This mesmerizing number is so gorgeous and flawless that we don’t even feel…

The last time I saw Butch Walker — sometime last year, at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts — he did a bunch of new songs and talked about how they were going to be on a new EP he was releasing called Peachtree Battle. I really enjoyed all of the songs and was very much…

The great Butch Walker has announced that he’s releasing a Record Store Day 10″. Here’s the word from his e-mail: “Hey hey hey! Record Store Day is upon us, and as a vinyl lover, I couldn’t be more excited about putting out A 10″ with two favorites from the last tour shows that never made…
