Starting off the scorching hot week with a brand new edition of Artist Spotlight for you! Today, we have a terrific Boston based band that goes by the name of The Offseason. The band consists of Ian Bergeson, Joe Broderick, Mike Wolfenden, and Craig Bray. The band has a fast paced, intense hardcore sound that sounds like a cross between New Found Glory and Four Year Strong with a blasting, soaring melodic output that punches you in the face the moment you first hear it and allows you to get into the groove quite easily from first listen. I'm not much of a hardcore punk fan, but there was something to enjoy from these local fellows, and that is their ability to inject passion and enthusiasm into their music which is something that has been noticeably absent for quite some time and it's gratifying to see these local guys putting a stamp of credibility for hardcore punk and making it more user accessible to the general public. A great local band that I would like to see more of going forward. Recommended tracks to take a listen at include "Can't Sleep" and "'98".
For more information on the guys in The Offseason, head on over to their Facebook page here and find out what the band have got going on from a musical perspective. You may follow the band on Twitter as well from this location here and find out when the band will be stopping by the local area again with a concert appearance. The band's music is available on their Bandcamp site located right here where you can find their latest EP "Pasttimes" available for streaming and/or purchase.
