Elsewhere

by April Mosque

This Boston-based band has a modern-day punk sound with good, solid percussion, but the guitar work is almost entirely power chords which shows more of a Van Halen influence rather than, say, Green Day. “Signs of Life,” with its touch of synthesizer, reminds me of Talking Heads. “Another Day, Another Life” is about relationships, but it’s an instrumental that will quickly bore anyone, just like some relationships do. Overall, they’re a bit too clichéd to catch on anywhere outside Boston.
