From the Pyre Tour Brings The Last Dinner Party to a Roadrunner That Couldn't Hold Them

Roadrunner has seen sold-out shows before. Saturday night was something else. The Last Dinner Party packed the Boston venue so completely that the concept of personal space became a distant memory. Given the hype surrounding this band right now, they honestly could have filled TD Garden. Roadrunner just happened to be what was on the calendar.

Snail Mail Lets the Songs Do the Talking at a Packed Big Night Live

Five years is a long time to wait. Snail Mail's last album, Valentine, came out in 2021, and while Lindsey Jordan has surfaced here and there in the time since, the prolonged silence ahead of Ricochet was felt. Friday night at Big Night Live in Boston, nobody seemed to mind that they'd had to wait.

Scandinavian Heavy Arts Tour- Dark Tranquility, Soen, and Persefone

I opened up to metal music late and with apprehension. I believed that metal shows would be too intense and angry for me, having spent many years seeing music that you only sway to. This past year, I’ve ventured into many new genres of music, and metal has been the one that continually surprises and excites. It’s not just the stage show experience that captures me, but also the crowd.

Beartooth Prove They're Ready for Their Own Arena on Bad Omens Tour Stop at TD Garden

There's a version of Wednesday night at TD Garden where Beartooth blends into the background. Middle-slot act on a three-band bill, tasked with warming up an arena crowd still finding their seats and finishing their beers. That's not what happened.
