D-Tension – “Tales From The Pub”

"Tales From The Pub" - D-Tension’s Secret Rock & Roll Band

Release Date: April 04, 2023 Record Label: Redfield Digital Release Type: LPBandcamp Link: Listen on Bandcamp

Okay, so we should start with a big, giant mea culpa here. Last summer, as some of you may remember, Dying Scene helped put on a series of shows around the country to help mark the resurrection of the site. We had shows in Denver and LA and Brooklyn and Chicago and, of course, the Boston area. At the latter of those, local legend D-Tension helped us mark the occasion with his Secret Rock And Roll Band. It marked a bit of a stylistic departure for D, who has not only been a staple voice on the local radio waves for years but has made a name for himself primarily in the world of hip-hop production.

D-Tension’s rock and roll project finally put out their debut full-length, Tales From The Pub, earlier this year via Red On Red Records and we totally spaced putting it in our “Release” section here at the site. UNTIL NOW! You can check out Tales From The Pub down below or order it straight from his bandcamp page. It’s super fun, and it’s chock full of D’s trademark wit and street wisdom but in a raw, rock-and-roll format. Oh, and he played all the instruments! Check it out…great stuff, D-Tension!


DeevoDaGenius shares ‘All Praises’ with a cohort of Massachusetts rap

<p>“Somewhere in Brockton, Massachusetts…” a collaboration of epic proportions was caught on tape. As the opening text of his new music video explains, DeevoDaGenuis headed south of Boston to corral a cohort of Mass.-made hip-hop on his new release “All Praises.” The new single and visual from the Lowell producer gradually stacks verses from FUNERAL Ant Bell, Najee Janey, Arold, and Erdnaez The Weapon, giving listeners a taste of what’s to come on his upcoming project Deevo Type Beat, out […]</p>

Diablogato

Founded in 2014 by two punk rock war horses and two rockabilly hellions, Diablogato play a style of music that’s not quite punk and definitely not rockabilly.It’s a revved up greasy garage stomp that has a swampy swing and a voodoo twang.

Dinosaur Jr

Dinosaur Jr is the loudest band you’ll ever see live, probably. They were formed in Amherst, Massachusetts in 1985. Originally called Dinosaur, the band was forced to change their name due to legal issues.

The band was founded by J Mascis (guitar, vocals, primary songwriter), Lou Barlow (bass, vocals), and Murph (drums). Creative tension led to Mascis firing Barlow, who later formed Sebadoh and Folk Implosion. His replacement, Mike Johnson, came aboard for three major-label albums. Murph eventually quit, with Mascis taking over drum duties on the band’s albums before the group disbanded in 1997. The original lineup reformed in 2005, releasing five albums thereafter.

Mascis’s drawling vocals and distinct guitar sound, hearkening back to 1960s and 1970s classic rock and characterized by extensive use of feedback and distortion, were highly influential in the alternative rock movement of the 1990s.
