Participate! 31 days of concert photos in July
Posted by Sooz | Filed under 30 days of concert photos, Girls Guns & Glory, Video, allston, boston bands, concert photos, live music, participate
I thought it might be interesting to try to get out to see live music every night in July; but I’d probably die after the first week trying to juggle that and my work schedule. So I’m looking for cohorts to contribute. Look for interesting happenings (or try something random) once (or more) a week and note the who/what/when/where on this shared Google calendar. (If you can’t edit it, send me your gmail address is and I’ll send you an invite.) Let me know where to find your photos (Flickr, your blog, MySpace, wherever) and I’ll link to everything throughout each week here on Exploit Boston! and then a big roundup at the end of the month. It would be great if the photos were mostly of Boston bands, but that’s no precise requirement.
Looking for inspiration? Check out the awesomeness that is Tourfilter for listings of bands coming to town. There’s the main Boston concert listings page and then the page that lists upcoming shows for all the bands playing on Exploit Boston Radio.

Get Out! CD Release Party for Aloud - Thursday, March 20th at Great Scott
Posted by Sooz | Filed under allston, aloud, boston bands, cd release party, concert recommendations, get out, great scott
Aloud, the melodic Boston rockers with two lead singers, celebrate the release of Fan The Fury with a CD release party at Great Scott on Thursday, March 20th. It’s 18+, $8 and starts up at 9PM. Also playing that night are The Shapes from NYC and Radio America from Worcester/NYC.
Great Scott is at 1222 Commonwealth Avenue in Allston. Take the Green Line’s “B” train to Harvard Ave. Get directions from Great Scott’s website.
Fan The Fury is an emotionally charged dichotomy of passionate rebellion and contemplative acceptance. Aloud delivers driving grooves and melodies wrapped up in themes of struggle, perseverance, injustice and love. From the frustrated anger of ‘Sometimes I Feel Like A Vampire’, and the hopeful anthem ‘Backs To The Wall’, to the weary but enlightened affirmation of ‘Justice & Forgiveness’, Fan the Fury is a twenty-somethings’ coming-of-age reflection on a not-so-perfect world. Aloud’s hooky melodies, great rock arrangements, and soaring vocal lines shine on tracks ‘Fan The Fury’, a forceful rallying call to the downtrodden; and ‘The Last Time’, an ode to loved ones separated by circumstance.
Here’s the video for “Can You Hear Me Now” from their previous (debut) full-length album, Leave Your Light On.
