Go to the website and check out their fucking awesome new songs!
Also check out their in my opinion, a classic A Dark In The Light song called A Darkness In The Light....This is an awesome video of a great song!

Be there at the CD Release Party this Friday night at the Middle East CLub Upstairs!

You will not be dissapointed!


A Dark In The Light is a band based out of Boston, Massachusetts that brings the melodic elements of southern blues together with grunge and brutal metal as one cohesive sound. The band was formed in Gainesville, Florida by Mike McCarthy (guitar/vocals) and Seth Roberts (drums/vocals), before re-locating to Boston and finding new inspiration via the addition of talented bassist Robert MacLeod.

Through influences ranging from Pantera, to Alice in Chains, to The Allman Brothers, A Dark In The Light refuses to conform to any one sound and will not be limited by the constraints of modern heavy music. The band has recently recorded their debut E.P. entitled The Nature of What's To Come at the Moontower Studios in Cambridge, MA.

The band has played to near sold out crowds at the Freebird live CafĂ© in Jacksonville, Florida, Harpers Ferry in Allston, Massachusetts and the Middle East Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Through its dynamic live performance in which the band’s passion and talent takes center-stage, A Dark In The Light will stop at nothing to bring good times rock n’ roll back to the heavy music community.

3HT

3HT

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3HGQXZHF

1. Shine
2. Stuntman

3ht began when Andrew Mueskes, Billy LeBlond, and Sean Weldon got together for a jam session in late 2005. After realizing their mutual interest in music, they decided to put together a group to play at a school assembly later in that year. In preparation for the show, the trio picked up Jeff Sullivan on bass, and Matt P. on drums. In April 2006, the group played a cover of Green Day's "Brain Stew" which was an instant hit to the audience, and the group realized that they could take their music to the next level. The group then chose the name of 3ht, and Danny Shores took over behind the kit of the newly formed band. Since then, 3ht is still going strong today. In late 2007, they released their first EP, self titled "3ht", under the production of EJ Oulette and Pine Island Music Resource in Byfield, MA. They are now in the process of writing material for their next CD, release date TBD.

Tom McElman Band

3. Sasha Blue Monday
4. Thorton's Boogie
"All songs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved"

The Tom McElman Band is an eclectic blend of Rock, Blues, and Funk. The nucleus of the band/project is Tom McElman on Vocals and Guitars (sometimes bass, sometimes keyboards) and Sean Moore on Drums. Tom and Sean write the songs and additional players, if needed, are added during the recording process.

Tom, originally from Boston, has a long history playing in hard rock bands such as Vernia Caliper and Strombringer but grew up listening to Blues. It was his father that first exposed him to Fats Domino, from there, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson but when he heard Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple for the first time, the music took on more of an edge.

Sean, actually born in the Boston area, grew up in Cincinnati and has been in Rock and Blues bands for most of his life. The two got together back in 1997 and has been writing music and producing and recording bands ever since.

Tom was recently diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). It is a genetic disease that usually goes undetected in men and women until they're in their late 30s. There is no cure and it is currently untreatable. However, as with all diseases, there's always hope. You can help by going to http://www.pkdcure.com/ and learning more about the disease. If you can make a monetary donation or donate your time, it would be more than appreciated!

A Dark In The Light






















A Dark In The Light

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9Q4OYHYX

  1. Devolving
  2. Dopplegangers
  3. Atrophy Of Me

I recently got an email from Seth and he told me to take a listen to his band. I gave it a listen and it blew me away! The first time I heard Dopplegangers, I knew they are the band to listen to for 2008. For the hardcore scene, there is always one band I hear each year that stands out in my book and A Dark In The Light is that band. Give it a listen, go to their site http://www.myspace.com/adarkinthelight as well as ReverbNation.com.

Below is a message from Seth and some info about the band.....

Hello

This is Seth from A Dark In The Light checkin in with all you bloggers! I hope you enjoy our material and join our email list, friend us on myspace, or just drop a line via any form of communication. We will be playing several live shows over the next few months, highlighted by a March 8th gig at The Middle East Club in Cambridge, MA. If any of you are local, please come out and say hi! Thank you all for your support, and we hope to see you out there in the real world!

Sincerely,

Seth & A Dark In The Light

True success will only be achieved through struggle and perseverance. This is a credo that A Dark In The Light takes to heart as the band prepares to move forward and launch itself into the throes of the Boston heavy music scene in 2008. While Mike McCarthy (guitars, vocals) and Seth Roberts (drums, vocals) have waded through their share of personal and professional hurdles on their way to this exciting time, it is the music that has kept everything together. Formed out of a love for metal, blues, punk, and sincere, intelligent rock, A Dark In The Light does not hold fast to any claims or gimics. The music and the people who care about the music are what matter to the band.

Despite its northeastern roots, the band took shape in Gainesville, Florida, where McCarthy and Roberts united with bassist Josh Vlahos and began to craft the songs that would comprise their 2007 debut EP. Eight months of rehearsing, gigging, and recording resulted in something none of the three members were certain would be achieved—A Dark In The Light became something tangible. Heart, soul, and struggle were all wrapped up into a package and represented by eight songs that reflected a musical vision and, more importantly, a belief in that vision. The recent college grads also learned a thing or two about life, and perhaps, that was the most valuable part of their Gainesville experience.

Looking to the future, the band parted ways with Vlahos and returned to the northeast in order to pursue their dreams a bit closer to home. The following months proved stressful, as they faced several setbacks in the search for the right musician to once again complete the band. After several musicians fell by the wayside, the band finally settled on Rowan Elowe to take over bass responsibilities. Now officially a full time member, A Dark In The Light is thrilled to have Rowan’s impressive skill set, including a background in jazz and a passion for brutal metal, to complete the band. Always looking to expand and improve, A Dark In The Light looks forward to its new chapter with Rowan, and is in the process of writing new material. The band would like to personally thank everyone who has supported them during both the good and the difficult times. We hope to see you all in the front row soon!

  2. King's Highway


Here is another release from my friend's band Just Us (formerly Koala Red).

If you haven't heard anything from them, please give this a listen.

They have drums, keyboards and they both share vocals....They have had an occasional guitarist fill in on certain parts but it's all them.

The first song "A Different Kind Of Sun" got radio airplay on WERS in Boston ( a local college station).

A video was also made for this which I am happy to say I got to take part in. I will post the video as soon as I have it transferred....

They were great friends but we lost touch when they moved to New York in the 90's....if anyone knows them, please send them the link to this site....they are missed.....

Beat Magazine Vol.2 No. 24 4-11-86 Issue 51

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WC78VHNA

Finally, here it is, my first posting of the Beat Magazine.

What's cool about this first issue that I have is the magazine features on the cover The Souls. I had posted Adam Sherman's previous band Private Lightning as well as The Souls ep. This features an interview with the band.



Great features in this magazine are Insignifica, which is basically tells you what's going on around town with all the bands, band members, management and anybody involved in the business...

Another feature is Ears In Boston with then WBCN DJ Carter Alan who is now on WZLX. He gives you a lot of local band info.

Sound Reaction features concert reviews.

Studio Trax features information about all the local recording studios....some still exist today!

There is also a Local Music Review by Ace Diamond which features local demo reviews.....

And of course, as you look through the magazine you will see concert listings for all the local venues.....

Please enjoy and let me know what you think!
Thank you!
