Scissorfight
2016 marked the reemergence of Scissorfight. The retooled version of the band features new members Doug Aubin on vocals and Rick Orcutt behind the drums, along with founding members Paul Jarvis and Jay Fortin. A new pair of scissors, same fight. Different yet familiar. Carrying on the traditional and forging a new chapter.
Tree
For the uninitiated, Tree formed in Westwood, MA in the late ’80s. By the mid-’90s, the group of school friends had cemented their status as one of Boston rock’s prime movers. Their sound was a mix of hard rock and hardcore punk. And frontman Dave Tree crafted lyrics that spoke to the political and social issues of the day.
If you were a rock fan in Boston in the ’90s, it’s a safe bet you had a copy of Plant A Tree Or Die or Downsizing The American Dream on CD or cassette tape. Tree was a fixture at the annual Boston Freedom Rally, which took place each year down on the Common back in the day. They were live, they were loud, and then–like most local acts, after a time–they were gone.
But now Tree is back. And the timing couldn’t be better.
