The Underground Sound of Emerson College
Wet Leg released their self-titled debut album last Friday, April 8, with Wet Leg, a twelve-song ode to heartache, introversion, and disappointment. The album culminates much of the band’s inner turmoil surrounding relationships and love without the typical melancholy tone of heartbreak songs.
Lizzy McAlpine is honing her craft in five seconds flat, outgrowing her previously established acoustic shell and layering her songs with a new level of emotional depth. This record incorporates a storyline of love and heartbreak with instrumentals that convey the story with heavy plucking of strings, crescendos and staccatoed strums, and exposes a new side to McAlpine’s music— one that shows more than the joy and brightness of love.
Meet Winkler, masterful cultivators of the vibe and purveyors of a great time.
Valentine, an album that fell flat for many, including our own Izzy Desmarais, truly did the opposite live. The vulnerability of presenting deeply intimate lyrics live is no small feat, and Jordan truly bared her soul out on stage.
Sidney Gish greeted me backstage in the Paramount theater, perched alone on a chair in a dressing room that dwarfed her. On and off stage, she is a self-contained unit of musical energy, a one-woman band with a loop pedal and an ear for the perfect layered sound.
On Wednesday, April 6, WECB Live hosted Jobie, Jo & The Average, and Sidney Gish at the Paramount Theatre.
At the age of 63, Joan Jett continues to know just how to wow a crowd, and has most certainly not lost her knack for performing rock and roll. While the years of wearing herself out on stage with dances and leaps may be at an end, the musician continues to bring her heart and soul to her shows.
Following the success of her breakout album Heard it in a Past Life (2019), Maggie Rogers returns with a renewed sense of self in her single “That’s Where I Am.”
