Gouge Away

The greater Boston community (and beyond) has been distraught upon learning that Allston venue Great Scott won't be reopening after the coronavirus pandemic, and justifiably so.

A new musicians' union, the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers, has formed, and its first objective is to seek aid for musicians affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

The lineup includes full-album sets from Hot Water Music, Cursive, Samiam, and The Flatliners, plus Modern Life Is War, Strike Anywhere, Torche, A Wilhelm Scream, Good Riddance, and much more...

Mick's playlist leans heavily on the atmospheric, ethereal side, with a lot of post-rock, electronic, and ambient music...

Hot Water Music bassist Jason Black tells us how Run The Jewels, Gouge Away, and more are getting him through isolation.

And, no, they didn't do ”Gouge Away.”

Releases by Converge, Code Orange, Deafheaven, Loma Prieta, Gouge Away and more are available at the price of your choice (starting at $1) to help support bands whose tours were hit by the coronavirus...

Our February 2020 playlist includes songs by Pop Smoke, Phoebe Bridgers, Sharon Van Etten, Grimes, Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, Bad Bunny, The Radio Dept, Perfume Genius, Waxahatchee, Jason Isbell, Pictish Trail, Gouge Away, Caribou, and more.

Gouge Away's new song will come out on a 7” backed by a Pixies cover the day their tour with Circa Survive starts.

Plus: Torche, Felice Brothers, Little Brother reunion shows, "Village of Love" Los Angeles lineup, Dan Deacon/Ed Schrader's Music Beat, and more tour-related news.
