“I don't know the Truth (But I've Memorized the Rumors)”, The Beatings

This way: I don't know the Truth (But I've Memorized the Rumors)

The Beatings are a Boston band. Welcome to the Country. We will be playing our final show on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at Great Scott in Boston, MA. It will have been 20 years since we started the band, and we feel it will be a fine night to call it a day.  

The Beatings have been described as noise pop but have obviously worked on their writing and singing, giving their latest effort a more complete if not poppy feel. From the start of their gig it was clear these guys have been honing their craft for sometime and are truly grizzled veterans. Leading off with “Bury You” from their newest effort, The Beatings set the tone early and rocked the Pilot Light for over an hour. The Beatings are led by drummer Dennis Grabowski, who plays a ferocious - in the pocket style that never lets up. E.R howls and sings while playing guitar along side bassist / vocalist Erin Dalbec. Greg Lyon, a late addition but long time friend and collaborator with The Beatings rounds out this stellar lineup on keys and guitar respectively.

If you ever wondered what is the maximum character count for a song title on Spotify this song will point out that it is 50 characters. And this song has nothing to do with Rum.

“What's Going On”, Hüsker Dü

This way:  What's Going On Best band of all time? Could be, certainly one of my all time favs. And this LP Zen Arcade is so good it hurt...
