Chains

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Somerville’s Julie Rhodes puts a little pepper in her lyrical twang, serving up spicy takes on modern Americana. On our highlighted track “Chains,” off Bound To Meet the Devil (B-Sides), she puts a new spin on the old story of the jilted lover by telling it from the jilter’s perspective. Hey, a lady’s got to have standards. To the left, to the left….

The mini-EP came out during the dog days of the pandemic, a follow-up to the original Bound to Meet the Devil. Catch her playing at Summer Shimmer on Saturday, August 13 at Boynton Yards.

It’s the dog days of summer, so let’s lean into it with music made for the weather. Stream “Beach” by The Jacklights.

Maybe it’s just the power of visual suggestion (check out the album cover of charm and mirror), but our highlighted track “Baby Pink” sounds downright tropical.

Bikini BDRK

Massachusetts’ Sapling craft bouncy, danceable punk with solid hooks and uptempo attack. It’s no surprise that they connected the dots to Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill fame on our highlighted track “Bikini BDRK,” off No Sequoia.

Boston’s blindspot crafts electropop dance bangers with enough buzz and churn to please the alternative rock crowd as well.

Boston’s Happy Little Clouds drip psych rock in our highlighted track “Beneath,” off Shift.
