“I felt like Boston deserved a Randy Newman-esq anthem and could have some fun with itself.”
“Castrati were Italian classical male singers, whose high tenor and soprano voices were produced by castration before puberty. The band’s new single, “Big Dead Heart,” counters Castrati youth and falsetto with growling vocals, noisy drums, and flippant lyrics that speak of pain and a “hateful kind of wit.”
Cameron Keiber opened the show with “a passionate acoustic set full of forceful strumming and confessional lyrics” - Terence Cawley
