  • Happy New Year everybuddy! Today I'm reacting to a brand new pop punk music from an artist called Aryia who really doesn't like where he lives and has written this angsty pop punk song for us all to relate to. Can you relate?

I imagine you won’t remember but I said to you that I thought you should do the guitar solos as your solos were much more musical than Pete’s 🤣. Anyway - a question.. would love to hear your thoughts on Extreme and in particular Nuno.. did you get a chance to jam with him at all?

    I'm 45. Still love Pop Punk, and keep up with all the new stuff. It's uplifting when not much music is these days, it reminds me of simpler times, and it simply makes me smile. However this guy looks like he saw MGK/traviscore and jumped on board. I don't know his background though so he might be legit.

    i can say this: somewhere around the chorus section of the song Justin relates back to the idea that this artist feels stifled in MA...mentioning that artists like Aerosmith are from Boston. he asks "what i'm curious about is what state, or what part of the world he thinks will improve his station?".....i mean literally with the most literal of dictionary definitions: literally anywhere else where art is considered. Massachusetts is a small place, and it all mostly funnels into either Boston, Worcester, or Lowell when it comes to art and culture. maybe a little bit Amherst as well. the Boston area has a lot packed into a small area, over 20 colleges...however due to rampant gentrification, over the past 10yrs Boston is NOT a safe space for arts and culture anymore. some of the most famous clubs in the area have closed down, 3 MAJOR buildings designed for artist studio spaces have been replaced by lab/tech/pharma spaces. radio stations have been shut down, and so on and so on. both the Pixies and Aerosmith come from Boston, and both would NOT have become so famous in the current condition. the community is suffering big time. so being a small fish in a massive lake in a place like NY, LA, SF, Nashville, hell even smaller cities with a big arts focus like Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Austin, or Boulder are so much more appealing. Boston USED to be an industry city, home to Berklee School for Music and all the other music related spaces around....well everything has shrunk up, artists have nowhere to go except out....and it's even worse the second you get any distance away from Boston. and that's just music. it's even worse for literally every other type of artistic practice. that song Ghost Town by The Specials....that's not dramatic enough to showcase how bad it is.
    listen i've worked in the live music industry of Boston for the past 10yrs on and off stage. every job that can be done, i've done....and i've never heard this artist before. this is literally my first exposure to them. just as sure as i am that the Celtics are gonna win another championship, i'm sure that this is mass-manufactured-radio friendly-sellout-BS that's riding on current trends. HOWEVER, i am also sure that the backstory and sentiments behind the song are authentic, and that the universal appeal in the themes does come from a place of honesty. now this can't hold a candle to the authenticity of another punk based MA artist like Fiddlehead....but i think even they would agree that the few opportunities that Have Heart (also an MA band that many members of Fiddlehead were in previously) had, there are even fewer opportunities for Fiddlehead now.
