Hot Band Alert: Ex Hex — Mary Timony’s new power trio is about to let it “Rips”

Twin Temple flip expectations with the satanic doo-wop of their self-titled debut album

Twin Temple, the creation of Alexandra and Zachary James, is the Satanic doo-wop you never knew you needed. In an unlikely collision of tastes and interests, Twin Temple’s freshly released debut album is a love letter to the bygone genre of the 50s-60s and the tones that iconized it, all delivered with a heavy dose […]

Alkaline Trio close four-night run at Observatory with excellent set; everyone was a “fangirl”
