Good things come in large zip files.
Where to get it:
* The majority of the bands are from Boston and New England.
Twin Berlin knows how to let loose on a Monday night. Their Rumble semifinal set of raucous, fuzzed-out tunes got people going. They didn’t take the night, but they earned a spot in the finals as the wildcard. They’ll do it all again on Friday night…

I liked Camden a lot before The Rumble. I flat-out love ’em now. Their set in the semifinals was a rock ‘n’ roll sugar buzz.

The New Highway Hymnal’s swirling, reverb-soaked, garage rock freak-out kicked up some dust at Rumble Semifinal Night #2.

Eddie Japan shook up the perfect concoction of style and substance to take Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinal Night #2. They’re just so good right now.

I’m pretty sure this is a first. Rumble Semifinal Night #2 was rescheduled to a Monday and we’ve got a special guest to open the night!* Randy Black And The Heathcroppers are 3 Rumble alum, so they’re right at home opening the night as a non-competing guest band.
* Extraordinary times, extraordinary measures and all. Special thanks to Brendan Boogie and Tsunami of Sound for giving up their slots, as well.
Darling Pet Munkee invaded the Braintree Newbury Comics as part of Record Store Day 2013. With kids in tow, we braved the South Shore Plaza so Little Little One could dance and Big Little One could cluck like an Arrested Development character trying to be a chicken. It was well worth it.
Brittany Butler entertained the Record Store Day shoppers picking through the Norwood Newbury Comics location with her pop sound.
Sean T. Drinkwater said Lifestyle was created to provide an escape. We could use some more of that around here these days. Their Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinal set was a temporary and much needed distraction from reality.

The Daily Pravda are grand. Their set in the Rock ‘N’ Roll Rumble Semifinals was majestic. These guys have become one of the best in the city.
