i did a radio show about all the boston bands i listened to in Jr High and High School (12-18 years old)... alot of memories... i bought the Bosstones cassingle of Where'd You Go partially b/c it was a cool item in my Jr High and partially b/c they did a thrash cover of Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith (my fav!) on the b-side...
Upsidedown Cross was what all the deliquent skateboard kids listened to when i was 13... SCARY! Concussion Emsemble were such a fun live band... 4 drummers! i don't know if they ever made any mark whatsoever outside of boston, but they were amazing...
when i started getting into hardcore Sam Black Church and Tree were THE bands in boston in, say, 93-96... their popularity was equivilant to the popularity bands like SSD and Slapshot had in the 80's... actually of my fav shows i ever saw was Slapshot and Sam Black Church in 1996... bands like Chloe, Slughog, 6L6, Honkeyball, and Otis were more or less just popular in Boston... as an underage kid not all of these bands played all ages shows, but i still would buy the 7"s after reading about the bands in local zines...
