Killer show tonight! We got into the details of the T.T. The Bear's Place renovations, played the entire Creaturos demo -- all 13 minutes, son -- and announced our ROOM PARTY next Sunday at the Liberty Hotel for the BOSTON MUSIC AWARDS. Live broadcast! Drunken interviews! Terrible-sounding in-room performances! Band pillow fights! Oh my. We'll tweet the rest of the details, like the room number, around 7pm next week via Twitter: @BostonAccentsMA. Stoked...
LEISURE, “Green Light” -— Hypnotic track off new 7-inch via Crash Symbols, out in December, but before that drops, read up on the Cambridge trio in Thursday’s Boston Phoenix. In the meantime, peep their lyrical website and watch the Three Colours-inspired video.
CREATUROS, "Demo" -– New 13-minute / one track demo of four or so songs off this trio's upcoming record, features Spencer Gralla and Noah Bond of Doomstar and Joe Marrett of Ketman/ Hallelujah the Hills. The physical packaging is a furry animal case and the CD creates an "eye" effect, limited to 20 copies that were gobbled up at this past Thursday's debut live show at the Middle East. Way cool. Maybe they'll make more when they play the Lilypad November 19 for the Quilt release party.
SQUALL, “Black Marks” –- New project from Robbie Lordi, who recently played in the underrated duo Human Tail. Playing with Thick Shakes and Radio Control at Charlie’s in Cambridge on November 28.
THE BYNARS, “How Does It Feel To Be In Love” -– Playing T.T.'s this Wednesday, November 16 with Eldridge Rodriguez and the Front Bottoms. Before we dove into these cats I discussed the long-planned TT The Bear’s Place renovation, which pushes the sound booth back maybe 30 feet or so, opens up the front of stage area and relocates the ladies bathroom. The room will get “deeper,” which is always a good thing.
SKIMASK, “Fine China” -– The most dangerous band in Boston!!!! A part of our Class of 2011 feature of new bands to watch, much to their chagrin, apparently. Skimask are included on a new comp called Boston Hassle, put out by Boston DIY hero Dan Shea...

CUFFS, “Albert Kroft” -– ...released on December 11 with a party at Great Scott, it also features these cats, Cuffs. We’ll have Shea on the show telling us all about it on December 4. Word.
NIGHT FRUIT, “Bittersweet” -– Shoegazy drone-y, photogenic-y, indie-ey-ey trio Night Fruit release their sophomore 7-inch, Dark Horse, December 9 at the Pill dance night at Great Scott (yes, that’s my party, evs city).
VIVA VIVA, “Hailing A Cab In Hell” -– New EP What’s the Kim Deal, pushed back to January, says us in this week's Phoenix, but the acclaimed band is also nominated for a two Boston Music Awards (Live Artist of the Year, Rock Artist of the Year). And speaking of, we announced tonight our BMA Room Party, where we shall live broadcast from a room at the Liberty from 8 to 10pm, do some interviews, have some drinks, announce the winners. Come hang with us. It could get real. We’ll tweet out the room number around 7pm next Sunday, so follow @BostonAccentsMA to stay in the know.

YOU CAN BE A WESLEY, “Giants” -- Straight from the new Nightosphere record, this song is not about the New York football team, the San Francisco baseball team, or anything jolly or green.
PARASOL, “Firecracker” –- We've thrown enough <3's in the direction of this cute-as-a-button trio, the Crush Season EP release party goes down at Starlab in Somerville this Tuesday, November 15.
WAR PRESIDENTS, “Strawberry Milk” -- We featured new record Minnesoda in our Fall Preview, and this jam lives up to the hype. So good.

MUY CANSADO, “Love And Fear” -- ...these fancy cats. My French is no good so don't make me say this band name.
ANIMAL TALK, “Into The Sun” -- A man approached me on Friday night in Allston and gave me this self-titled EP. I dig it. Playing TTs in January, get ready.
LA PESTE, “Better Off Dead” -– Throwback Boston garage rock track that got me all fired up when Julie Kramer busted it out during this past Freeform Friday.
PREFAB MESSIAHS, “Sacred Cow” -– Going back to 1982 with this Worcester post-punk act, their Bobb Trimble-produced LP gets re-released November 15 off Brooklyn label Fixed Identity, on the 30th anniversary of their first ever gig. Pretty cool.
