Say When does exactly what they told you they were going to do; make you happy with their non threatening, catchy music. They’re a band with a basic sound that anyone can enjoy. This is a refreshing break from the typical screamo/hard core style that everyone is currently so taken with. I would suggest this music to anyone who wants to relax and have a good time. It isn’t complicated, and it won’t make your ears bleed. This band has potential to do great things with their music, they just need to reach out a little more.

Check them out for yourself on Myspace.

“With catchy acoustic pop melodies accompanied by infectious lyrics sung with distinct style, occasional hardcore gang vocals, and precision drumming, you have the unique sound that is Morris. Incorporating the best aspects of punk, emo, pop, and hardcore, Morris creates a sound that is depressing and hopeful and fun.” (myspace bio)

Hey Guys,
There’s a couple of things I want to address.

1. BLM is working on putting out a sampler of local, unsigned bands. Not only will it help get your bands name out, but it will help get our site out there too. So, if you’re a local band interested in being on the sampler (any kind of music) please contact me at lalz.blm@gmail.com .

2. The Hope Conspiracy show on February 11th has had a location and time change. It will be held at Club Lido (Wonderland T stop in Revere) at 3:00 PM.

Right now, that’s all I can think of. Make sure you guys check out Francine tonight at Harper’s Ferry (Paper!). They go on at 10.

“We are larry, tiny, collin and luke and we are the band faraway from Boston MA, this is our bio. We are between the ages of 19 and 23 and we fuckin rock. We have recently toured the entire United States and have done a bunch of east coast tours as well. We work wicked hard at what we do, which is melting faces and driving in our van. Here are some fun facts about us: luke really likes bjork and working with kids a lot, collin grew a radical beard in the last few months, larry hates cigarettes and bees and tiny got kicked out of the national honors society in high school for telling a teacher to cup his balls.

March 20th we are going into the studio for 3 weeks to work with Mike Poorman and Matt Squire to record an EP.” (purevolume profile)

If you’re into pop punk/pop rock you should definitely check out Faraway. Visit them on myspace or go to their show with The Northwood on February 3, in North Attleborough.

“Hailing from the greater New England area and brilliant states Connecticut and Massachusetts. Picking a central location was tough as to where three members are from Thompson, Ct and one is from Princeton, Ma. But for the sake of centralizing a point we will say Thompson,CT. But their collective hearts are kept at the Kelley house as to where that is where most of the noise, eating, and movie watching is done. Thank you to all the Kelley household as to incredible willingness to sacrifice the compromise of calm silence.

Comprised of pessimists and optimists Francine… began with long time high school friends Joshua and Kayoum writing in guitar class in January of 2004 after the demise of old band The Hometeam. Going through the breakup of the band brought out an eclectic sound as to where Kayoum who had not previously played guitar in The Hometeam picked up the instrument as well as putting forth vocals for the band. After getting a few pieces together and showing promise and drive the tracks were brought to Robert Kelley also a former member of The Hometeam. Laying down percussion on the tracks brought the music to life and it was time to find bass to finish out the sound. Rounding out the low end for the band was original bassist Matthew Collari who you may catch around Marlboro doing carpentry and metal. After recording at audio excellence with Anthony Brodeur and Brian Silva Francine… continued to write and work on their intoxicating live show. Which you must catch to fully “get” where the music comes from. After the release of their debut ep work was focused upon more writing and playing the live circuit. In preparation for a hopefully big 2005.

But due to time constraints Matthew and Francine… parted ways on loving terms. Starting off the winter by filling the shoes of former bassist Matthew was picked up by Eric Lee Strout brother of Joshua and Kayoum [not by blood for Kayoum, just by convenience for the two]. Eric joined the band in the beginning of winter and has picked up fast as all our proud internally and excited to complete the new lineup.

The band looks forward to the next year being well to them and looks for some steps in direction of first tours and full length albums come summer time. So wish them well as they do you. Francine… looks to the future with optimism and pessimism and hopefully some of you can come for the ride on the way there.

P.S. Remember Francine… loves you more than your parents.” (-myspace bio)
