Broke-Ass Band Interview – Think About Life
I checked out Think About Life a few Fridays ago at Bottom of the Hill. Their second album, Family, was released last May. I listened to it for the first time the day before the show and was hooked, literally, ten seconds into the album. It’s accessible from the first

Meet Your Maker: Judgement Day at Union Pool
The band’s name is Judgement Day. String Metal is their sound. Be prepared. This guitarless, percussive, high-energy violin, cello, and drums trio is, as our very own Stuart says, ‘œon some other shit!’ Judgement Day is in a realm of their own. Brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner combine their innovative
