A two piece alternative band from Quincy
Extract
In the midst of a near death experience, the idea of this band EXTRACTED from an intense moment in time during a time of great change in Davey Dreyer's life. "I really longed for a musical experience that incorporated a full out experience, a performance. The name Extract came to me during a really intense mushroom trip, and I was overwhelmed by how much it just worked. We aim to Extract the best of each moment we are living through, by painting them with our eyes closed."

The Big Lonesome
Originally started as a solo project by Chad Gosselin (guitar/vocals) in 2009, Boston band The Big Lonesome has grown over the years to become a four piece tapestry of shoegazey indie rock with a sensibility for pop. Gosselin’s lyrics explore a wide range of topics from an awkward encounter of running into an old fling while buying kale at the supermarket (“What the Hell Am I Supposed to Do?”) to attending the final show at iconic T.T. the Bear’s Place in Cambridge, MA before it closed in 2015 (“Everytown, USA”). Brother Luke Gosselin (guitar/lap steel/vocals), Seth Kellogg (bass) and Andrew Korajczyk (drums/percussion) join Chad to perform music that has been described as "The Rolling Stones covering Sonic Youth" and has drawn comparisons to Guided by Voices and early Wilco.
In 2014, The Big Lonesome released its first formal EP Undone with previous members Joe Ziemba (bass) and Mike Moore (drums). Undone was produced by Sean McLaughlin (Matchbox 20/Elliott Smith) and mastered by Jeff Lipton (Wilco/Spoon/Bon Iver). The band toured the northeast and east coast the following summer in support of the record, garnering national radio attention along the way.
In late 2016, the band made a concerted effort to tour aggressively to support their second release, Fascination. Chad quit his job as a part time high school music teacher and cashed in his meager savings to buy a twelve passenger van. 2017 and early 2018 saw the band on the road constantly, with regular trips through the midwest, down the east coast, and through Texas, highlighted by stops at SXSW in Austin, TX and a headlining show at the Middle East Downstairs in their hometown of Boston, MA.
The band is currently working on material for a full length (set for a late 2018 release), and plans to release a series of lo-fi singles, proudly recorded on a TASCAM Portastudio 424 Mkiii, with accompanying music videos throughout the year.

Electric Standard
Electric Standard plays rock, blues and soul with the sound, spirit and enthusiasm of the original rock 'n' roll combos. In 2020, Electric Standard released its debut album, Vintage Circuitry to strong reviews. Metronome magazine named it one of their "Top 20 of 2020", citing the group's "savvy songcrafting bolstered by equally sharp musicianship." The band's latest album, Lady Luck & the Grand Vizier, was produced with Bill Mason at Second Story Studios. Released in 2023, the album shows Electric Standard expanding its sonic range to include an even wider range of blues, folk and pop styles. Rebecca Cullen of Stereo Stickman called the album ""[A] fantastic project . . . a faultlessly written and recorded collection, joyful to let play but also profound and powerful when you need it to be."
