    FHS 252 – Girlfriends

    April 23rd, 2010

    It seems like everyone’s been talking about Girlfriends lately. Just a few months into their existence, they’ve been nominated for a BMA for best garage rock band (amidst some very tough competition), and have a cross-country tour lined up that will keep them busy for every single day from July through mid-August. Yow.

    This Sunday, they’re at Great Scott. You better catch them soon, because if they burn themselves out soon, they’re set to catch on fire. (That’s as close as we get to hokey music critic writing. Sorry.)

    Song List:

    1.
    Cave Kids 02:22
    2.
    3.
    4.
    Slugger 02:58
    5.
    Disappear 03:05

    FHS 251 – Worldmap

    April 19th, 2010

    Worldmap… I couldn’t come up with a way to describe them until I saw their MySpace profile, where luckily they figured it out: baroque punk. Their songs are somewhat atonal and can be nearly assaulting live, so of course they went the complete opposite direction here.

    Song list:

    1. That’s Pejorative 02:09
    2. His Penis 01:52
    3. This is the Life We Chose 02:19
    4. Sticky Bomb 02:09
    5. Paradox in Green 03:09
    6. Brazen Bull 01:48
    7. Protoleviathan 02:44

    FHS 250 – The Longwalls

    April 1st, 2010

    Landing the coveted (is it?) #250 spot is Boston’s own The Longwalls. A perfect blend of Americana and catchy-as-heck pop, I dare you not to find yourself singing Zombies (source of my current favorite lyric: “It’s not a social commentary when I say there’s zombies at the mall”) at some point this week. And mark your calendar now – their EP release party (with Cassavettes!) is May 1 at the Lizard Lounge!

    Song List:

    1.
    2.
    Touchdown 02:57
    3.
    Ghosts 03:51
