Get Out! CD Release Party for Aloud - Thursday, March 20th at 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.
