Any help defining their genre would be greatly appreciated! Who am I missing?

A few of these aren't active anymore, I'll be marking them as I go.

Allston Pudding-Covering local indie garage rock

The Ash Gray Proclamation-A music blog from Plymouth, MA and points north.

Dig Boston

Blog to the Old school-showcasing lesser known 91-95 hardcore/jungle releases since 2008.

Boston Hassle-Foster an innovative, compelling, and interconnected music, art, and film community in the greater Boston area through grassroots and inclusive participatory culture.

Boston Jazz Scene-the place to find out what happened, what is happening, and what is coming in jazz and other improvised music in Boston and surrounding communities.

Boston Music Spotlight-"Boston Music Spotlight provides readers with news, features, interviews, concert reviews, photo galleries and much more. Readers can find all the latest information on all genres of music – from rock to country and hip-hop to blues – on the national and local levels."

Boston Ska-Ska, rocksteady and soul music in the boston area

Boston Survival Guide-Random thoughts and ideas of varying degrees of importance. Mostly music, but also other stuff, when I deem it necessary (understand, it’s cheaper than a therapist, medication, or scotch)."

Boston Through My Eyes-"I would say my site contains rock, indie rock, folk, and the occasional electronic/pop music."

Bradley’s Almanac- "I'd say I write about mostly indie-rock/indie-pop type stuff. While the Almanac is 'not very active', my facebook and twitter feeds are (sometimes too-) frequently updated with music-centric shares."

Brewery Sessions- If you want to know about concerts and beer related events in and around Boston, check out the Calendar.

The Boston Musical Intelligencer-a virtual journal and essential blog of the classical music scene in greater Boston

Clicky Clicky Music-Online in one form or another for a decade, Clicky Clicky Music Blog focuses on up-and-coming, under-rated, forgotten or flat-out awesome indie rock. We try to do things differently. It's why we're so popular.

Daykamp Music-"Daykamp Music is a bloggy website thing about the Boston music scene. For now it’s going to be mostly pictures. If there are words they are likely to be complimentary. Life is short. Daykamp Music reserves the right to do whatever it damn well pleases as it grows up. Don’t crimp its style."

Deli Magazine Boston-"The Deli Magazine is an independently owned website run by musicians and music writers, covering local music scenes. The primary goal of The Deli is to expose local musical artists that have not yet reached a level of international fame: this is why all of our printed articles feature up and coming bands and singer-songwriters (while our websites also cover the most popular breakout bands)."

The secondary goal is to inform and advise the local community of musicians on any other matter related to making music, from recording it to promoting it and performing it. You will find this kind of information in our Delicious Audio Blog and Listings section."

ftwelvemusic-"FTWELVE Music is a Boston Music Blog and your source for new music, album reviews, show reviews, music photography, and more."

Fighting Tinnitus-"A Boston music blog."

Foundwaves-"Foundwaves is a nonprofit with a mission of supporting and promoting local live music scenes, expanding participation through collaborations with members of other creative disciplines, and fostering the creation of original content."

Guestlisted-Part of the Boston Herald. "Jed Gottlieb is the Northeast's preeminent David Lee Roth scholar... and more! He's also a Herald music reporter and feature writer."

Indieminded-"All indie, all the time"

Kitchen Sessions-"My website is more of a house show archive than an active blog, but most of our shows are in the Americana/folk genres, with some indie rock mixed in"

Maimed and Tamed-"We cover it all, though the focus is mainly on indie rock and folk/americana."

Music Savage-"I run this website as an outlet of my love for music. Since its inception, I’ve met a lot of cool people, made some friends along the way, and tried to share all I could with everyone else. I try my very best at writing about music and sharing all the fantastic music there is out there."

Music is Art-"musicisart is my own personal reflection of the way i feel music, art and words. growing up, i always immersed myself in a pair of headphones and loved to write. "

Noise Floor-"Noise Floor is the outlet for the Boston-based music writing and photography of Ben Stas."

Rose Rundown-"I cover mostly alternative rock both local and national through Rose Rundown but I also cover it now through examiner.com and axs.com as a Freelance Writer."

Ryan’s Smashing Life-Ryan's Smashing Life is a Music and Entertainment website published daily from Boston. Read by normal folks (from all over the world) who might just like music a little too much!

Sippy Cup Everything

Sleepover Shows-Sleepover Shows are three song sets of acoustic or stripped down versions performed by bands that we love as they make their way through Boston. Though it started as something we did when bands needed a place to crash on the night of their shows, we now mostly film the sessions before or after a show and let the bands find their own ways home (though the offer still stands). Basically, we try to use our spaces as creatively as we can. We’ve filmed in the back seats of cars, on top of playground equipment, in doorways and alleys, in bathtubs and stairwells. We try our best to get the bands to take their music outside of the confines of the studio and have some fun. And that’s the point: to capture some great music that maybe isn’t always as polished, but shows these artists having a good time doing what they love. We’re doing what we love too, and hope you enjoy the videos!

Sound of Boston-Sound of Boston is an online music publication that covers the culture, events, and artists comprising Boston’s vibrant music scene. Our city has a lot of talent to offer to the music world; our staff works to raise awareness of local acts and to help them to reach an audience.

They Will Rock You-TheyWillRockYou.com is a music site created for and by music fans. We bring you music news all day, exclusive interviews, spotlight features on new up and coming bands, contests and concert photo galleries.

Time Out-Show+event listings

The Unexcused-"Visions of the Unexcused is a Podcast & Blog that showcases the taste and style of Derek (aka – Mint Pillow). Visions originated as a radio show on 90.9 fm WONY in Oneonta, NY and is now based in Cambridge, MA. No genre or time period is left untouched."

Vanyaland-"Vanyaland is an interactive source for music news, live shows,new releases, downloads, and nightlife around Boston and beyond, with an active stable of writers and photographers."

Visible Voice-indie music blog - free downloads, live recordings and video.

What's up Boston!

My name's Tanner Dane and I'm a touring artist from Chicago. I am going on tour this October and playing at Warehouse XI, which I'm super stoked about. In the art of total & complete transparency in this ever screwed up touring market however, I have sold a total of 3(!!!) tickets so far. If you're a live music lover & are in the area + are a fan of indie rock mixed with a touch of r&b, I would be so thrilled to have you out for my first headline show in Boston. I made the tix as cheap as possible as well! If you show up from reddit just show me this thread and I'll throw in a tour t-shirt too. I've provided my music above if you have any time to check it out. See you at Warehouse XI on 10/14!

Hello Bostonian Musicians! I’m here to promote my monthly variety show, Yes & Everything, hosted at The Loov (in Somerville) Sept 4

8 Upvotes

Now, I know what’ y’all may be thinking. A variety show. I’ve been to those. No need to go to another. And maybe you’re right. But I’m here to tell you; this is a good fucking show. 

To put it in the words of a recent guest: "I invited four of my friends tonight but one couldn’t make and the other one couldn’t get in. How do I explain the show to them? It’s so unique and different. There truly isn't a way to explain what I just witnessed tonight."

This is a major, high-energy, loud, explosive, chaotic show, and it’s an absolute blast. We’ve got a huge team putting it up, and the crowd is absolutely electric. So come! Or don’t! But I promise you’ll have a good time. 

Oh and this month’s theme is Sports

New app

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on an iPhone app called RecordQuest for a while now and it finally got approved and went live on the App Store.
I started making it because I wanted something that felt a little more social than the vinyl apps I was already using. I like Discogs a lot for release info, pressings, and marketplace stuff, but I wanted an app that focused more on the actual collecting side of the hobby and showing off your collection.
With RecordQuest you can build your collection, keep a wishlist, rate records, save favorite tracks, add notes and condition info, follow other collectors, see what people are adding, check out collection stats and achievements, find nearby record stores, and check in when you visit them.
The goal is basically to make vinyl collecting feel more like a social hobby inside the app instead of just keeping a list of what you own.
It’s completely free right now and this is the first public version, so I’d genuinely love feedback from people who are actually into records.
If you try it, I’d really like to know what you like, what feels pointless, what’s missing, and what would actually make you keep using something like this.
Here’s the App Store link:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/recordquest/id6788537686

I’ve spent a ridiculous amount of time working on this, so it’s pretty cool to finally have people outside of my friends testing it.
