Pop punk favorites We Are the In Crowd played a sold-out date of “The Reunion Tour” Wednesday, April 2nd at Brighton Music Hall in Allston.

The Bots are a unique musical duo that cannot be easily placed into a single, specific genre, which means their music appeals to anyone and everyone.

We The Kings releases new, fan-funded album

You may remember We The Kings bursting into the alternative music scene in 2007 with “Skyway Avenue” and rising to fame with the platinum single “Check Yes Juliet.” While the band has remained successful for years, the five-piece has approached their fourth full-length album in a less traditional way.

Indie-rock band Young the Giant formed in 2004 under a different name and, after signing with Roadrunner Records in 2009, took the alternative music world by storm with the band’s unique vocal styling and catchy hooks that would stay stuck with you for days.
