“It’s the kind of music that rock purists crave for. It’s also the kind of music that comes from the heart, even after it has been ripped to shreds.” — Robb Duguay
It’s too early into 2020 to declare a record one of the best of the year, yeah? Well, if it’s not uncouth to do so then I’d like to submit the long awaited new full-length from Boston’s Eldridge Rodriguez as worthy of those kinds of accolades.

Cameron Keiber of Eldridge Rodriguez dives deep into the tracks, bands and artists that mean something to him, as well as why he’s right (incomplete list. he couldn’t stop once I got going)
“I felt like Boston deserved a Randy Newman-esq anthem and could have some fun with itself.”

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
