Picture Credit: Patty Duffey Photography   Catching Arrows - Locked in Release Date: August 20, 2021 Length: 03:27 Genre: Indie Rock / Pop Punk Origin: Boston , MA , USA Catching Arrows' latest single 'Locked in' is a song about desire, about yearning, about missing your friends, missing playing music together, missing all the good aspects about human interaction, and most obviously, it is a song about the lockdowns. 'Locked in' also is a song by a very talented young band from New England. Catching Arrows are a band with a lot of potential, and thus it is really worth supporting these young artists. Like Detention from Akron, Ohio, here is a band that keeps (Punk) Rock alive and transfers it to the next generation. The mix of Indie Rock, Pop Punk, and Indie Pop that Catching Arrows present here is deeply soulful and extremely catchy. Traces of legendary forerunners like No Doubt can clearly be spotted, but also Catching Arrows add a very own note to their sound. ...

Picture Credit: North Star the Wanderer North Star the Wanderer - Universal Trajectory Release Date: October 16, 2020 Label: selfrelease Format: Digital Length: 14:23 Genre: Progressive Sludge Origin: Boston (Massachusetts) , USA Yesterday, we listened to Stoner and Alternative Metal from New Hampshire . Let's stay at the American East Coast for another day. Thus, today's review presents the debut EP by Boston's Prog Sludge quartet North Star the Wanderer. The band consists of: Chris  - drums, Justin  - bass, Pat  (Ex- My Missing Half ) - guitar, Charlie  (touring guitarist with Ashes of Ares and Ghost Ship Octavius ) - guitar and vocals. The EP contains two songs in which North Star the Wanderer create an exciting melange of Prog Metal and Sludge. The two main influences each take their parts in the musical air. Massively fuzzy Sludge generates a gloomy and smoky environment. Almost seemlessly those dark themes glide into headbangig Heavy and Prog Metal. Highspeed ...

Rithiya Henry Khiev  started writing this composition some time ago. But he did not quite move forward at some point and temporarily abandoned the song in favour of other projects. The continuation commenced in early days of the lockdown as you might have assumed. But "Travesties from Closure" is way more than just a COVID-19 product. Rithiya Henry Khiev  processes the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests around the world in his new composition. Imposant Symphonic Metal leads into powerful Progressive Metal. While the background is defined by raw and distorted Heavy Metal riffing, Rithyia Henry Khiev  foregrounds a loungy, somewhat jazzy but still intense set of motifs. The intensity of "Travesties from Cl...
