Boston indie alt-rock band capture unrivaled momentum and unleash a powderkeg of a debut album on Friday, May 30

“A bit of good weezer…” – The Boston Herald

“[E]choes of early aughts alternative…” – The Boston Globe

“‘Pocket of Gold’ is a high energy, upbeat alt-rock track. It stops just shy of being pop punk, but just barely. It sounds like if The Strokes started out in the mid 90’s in the wake of Weezer and Fountains of Wayne. It’s melodic, and fun, with just enough of an edge to truly set it apart from other bands. If you love jangly guitars, ridiculously catchy melodies, and songs that demand you move, you’re going to love ‘Pocket of Gold’.” – If It’s Too Loud

“…a scorcher!” – Rock And Roll Fables on “Hellbound”

“Like a sprint through early aughts rock, [‘Pocket of Gold’] ricochets with a scrappiness that’s best described as The Strokes on speed, and lead singer and guitarist George Danahy delivers the line “Nothing can be bought / Babe, give me a shot” with perfect frontman panache.” – Vanyaland

“The Ghouls came next, and they’re one of the most solid live bands in the Boston scene today. They have this perfect mix of playing loosely in that 90’s cool way while also being an incredibly tight band. The two previous times I’ve seen them play have blown me away, and even though I knew what to expect for this third time, I was still pleasantly surprised by how great they are live. They play a great mix of punk meets alt-rock that is just mainstream enough to win over the normies but just unique enough to keep the music snobs happy.” – If It’s Too Loud
