This is good, two updates in the same week. Don't get too used to it I've just been sitting around in bed all day with nothing to do. Anyway, here's the real stuff
If you'll look over to your left a bit you might notice a little flyer I made for a show Aaron Alves is putting on for December 23rd. Can you guess who that is on it? (Hint: it isn't Craig)
If you weren't at the Green Bean and missed out on an Aaron Alves cd-r, click here to download a digital copy for FREE!
In New Bedford Hardcore related news, Matt O'Dowd is putting on a cool show at the Yeti Room on January 17th. It's a benefit for an Orphanage in Nepal. I'll get the flyer up on here as soon as its done, but for now you can peep the facebook event page.
The Yeti Room is also having a huge show on December 28th:
Keynote is putting on another show for Man Overboard (ex Front Page) at Accu:
flyer coming soon
I heard personally today (from none other than New Bedford's own Sean O'Brien's Facebook that the Outrage side of an upcoming NBHC Mayhem split with Wolf Whistle is almost recorded/mastered. Hopefully it will be out soon, keep checking on here, the bands myspaces, and redwood records for updates on it.

Thanks to everybody that came out for the show tonight, the turnout was perfect for everyone to get paid (and laid) the right amounts, i broke even on it. Will got some nice video vootage, it'll be up as soon as its edited. There is a possibilty of some audio recordings surfacing, I don't know how well the tapes came out. Anyway, both will be posted way before the last OTI/FTF show vids. HUGE thanks to monica and her friend (two totally random girls that i've never met before who went above) for doing the door for me almost the entire night. I hope they stole some money from the show because they refused my cash offering. Anthony played a pretty awesome cover, I won't ruin the surprise on here.
Pic related to the surprise i already ruined. I have a test press and i gotta say it sounds awesome.
Pressing Info:
100 on Black
50 on Dark Blue Mix
50 on Clear Mix
50 on White Mix
I guess I may as well mention while I'm nerding out about vinyl that me and my friend from London (Jake) are planning a split release of the last unfinished demo xfilesx recorded. Brendan and Trevor are going to finish them up after Christmas. It will also include older material that never got the vinyl treatment as the B side, hell if theres enough it could very well be a 10" but i want to keep costs down so it can be as inexpensive as possible. I discussed all this with Brendan a week or two ago and he said he wants the packaging to be "as meaty as possible" so expect some cool NBHC literature with it.
This Is A Machine (Anthony of Half Hearted Hero) just released his new cd tonight. NBROCK will be hosting a digital download of it soon.
Vistas Change have a new album dropping soon and Aaron Alves passed around a bunch of cdr demos of his solo stuff at the show tonight, they'll hopefully be hosted on here soon as well. The CD release is at The Highlander next Wednesday (12/23). Bedford Academy, The Do's and Don'ts, and Pride of the Atlantic (which I haven't heard but hear it involves Taylor Kirkwood) will be supporting. $5/8PM/All Ages/789 Main St. Acushnet
If anyone really enjoyed Trunks and Tales or Shipwrecks, they're playing the handsome mansion in allston tomorrow night. get in touch with me for the address, i think i might drive up to boston from new bedford to catch POW there over the weekend along with the witches with dicks reunion at unit 11.
Half Hearted Hero, Lesser Knowns, Letterday + more are playing Harper's Ferry on the 5th. Mother Night have a Mid East show on the 10th of January; cool for them but there is hopefully going to be a Half Hearted Hero show in/close to New Bedford that same night.
Alright its almost 3AM and i haven't slept right in days. I'll update again this week with flyers, links, audio, and video check back!
Always And Forever
OH and I put Half Hearted Hero's Home [EP] up for download the other night. Someday I'll get nice at frequent updates instead of cramming the only new bedford news you should care about into monthly forum summarizations.

11/23/2009
I'm gonna try and put on as many shows as I can over break. Aaron Alves is doing one on December 23rd at the Highlander too! I'll posts more info on that in the next couple of days. Check out the forums or facebook for more detailed/updated info on all winter shows going on in nb.
Get fucking stoked on this image i'm leaking!!!!

Looking for something better to do than trick or treating with your kid sister tomorrow night? Look no further.
If that show doesn't float your boat then you should check out Math The Band and Creepin' Cadavers at UMASS. Both shows are FREE, and there is a 21+ show at No Problemo after the bean.

Quick update on the Black Watch Pub show on Friday, its now 21+. Apparently someone threatened the bar for having an all ages show and they are afraid of getting in trouble.

10/20/2009
Well, it's really been quite some time since I've updated and I guess I should apologize for that even though everytime I update I seem to have to say that.
I'm pretty bored in my math class right now, to say the least. Anywayz, I've been kicking around the idea of doing another NBROCK comp for the winter. More on that to come in November.
A bunch of new nb bands have popped up, if you want to hear them go snoop around the forums I don't have time to crawl around myspace for links.
RIP Have Heart, the biggest hardcore band to come out of new bedford (sort of). I had a pretty good time at their last show this past Saturday.
Hopefully this means more time for Wolf Whistle?!
I wish I had some new mp3s to offer up on here, no ones been sending me shit.
I guess I'll just end this post with a really late congratulations to Craig, whose daughter Sierra was born a few months ago and is pictured with him at left.
Some shows coming up:

Hey d00dz. As the picture to the left seems to indicate, I've got some pretty OMG-worthy news: Half Hearted Hero's website is online and more or less complete. Sometime last month, John asked me about making a site for Half Hearted Hero, and after much jackassery and procrastination, I finally got around to making it.
I've still got to talk to Meyer about album descriptions and whether he wants stuff to be downloadable or not, and if a review exists, PM me on the boards or something because as much as I may want it to, that young lad from Munich drumming along to some phat jamz doesn't really constitute a 'review'.
But for your viewing pleasure: <http://www.nbrock.net/bands/halfheartedhero/>

NBRock is making a comeback this summer. Please read and respond to this if you have questions.
The entire staff of nbrock.net has been pretty busy with life lately, including myself; as most of you know i was in the hospital for most of my spring break and it sucked. However, I'm all better and want to revitalize the scene with everyone's help. We are already teaming up with Solstice, the skateboard store downtown on William Street, to make the forums on here the real deal again. I don't want anyone to feel excluded cause they feel nbrock is pretentious or something stupid like that.
I'm going to legit be doing shows again this summer starting in May when I get out of school. Hopefully Craig will be done with the new site by then, I have no idea how far along he is and to his credit he has some real life shit going on right now. All I can say about it is it'll be like a real site with blog updates like this. Hopefully still iphone/sidekick compatible. The idea is to get everyone back into liking shows again and going to them to have fun, not to get drunk and waste the day away making fun of the thirteen year olds that probably have way more fun than the jaded kids who go to see the one band they like on the 10 band bill. Well, I don't see why we can't have little 2 band shows for those kids and have huge keynote shows at the PAL and bigger places.
I've been kicking around a lot of ideas with a lot of different people and am gonna announce that my goals for the summer are to press a new xfilesx 7", if it can happen, get a PA, put on an assload of safe fun shows that are cheap, and get the wheels in motion to press smackin' isaiah. Basically the new nbrock site will be like a distro with everything it has now. stay tuned for more updates on this. We're doing the best we can right now and need the support of everyone in new bedford that cares about local music to make this shit a reality.
oh and if you know html or php and wanna make band sites like this get in touch cause i'm too busy to do more by myself.

New Bedford has some new sounds; Vistas Change have been busy this past winter recording some demos and have them streaming on their myspace for your listening pleasure. They will be playing, to my knowledge what is their first show on March 13th at The Highlander in Acushnet with Skin Lake + More TBA. I'm dissapointed it's the same night that Title Fight are playing at the ICC, but if you weren't planning on going up to Boston for them then you should definitely check the Highlander show out.
Soon to be New Bedford legends Half Hearted Hero have the finished master copy of their new full length "Defining. Refining." in their hands as of today so it shouldn't be too much longer before the rest of us get to own a copy of it. They have a few shows coming up: March 5th @ UMASS Dartmouth for FREE with A Hero Next Door, April 11th @ The Pal playing as Blink 182, and on April 17th in Kingston, Ma.
The final lineup for that cover show that Keynote is putting on at the PAL is still slightly indefinite, but to the best of my knowledge HHH are covering Blink 182, Atlantic Blue will do Lifetime, Outrage-Brand New, Sharkweak: The Movielife, and one more band TBA is covering Saves The Day. Another Option have dropped off so they can focus on other things besides learning cover songs and Outrage decided not to cover Smackin' Isaiah much to my dismay. Despite all these changes, the show is still happening and should be a lot of fun. Admission will run you up $10 and I'll get a new flyer up for it as soon as one is sent to me.
Some drama the other night at the Ramming Speed/Agony show that Andrew put on at UMASS, from what I gather from the forums the cops busted it up for no reason and Ramming Speed didn't play. Bummer, but hopefully it won't affect the future of UMASS shows.
That Wolf Whistle podcast Craig mentioned a few posts down is available for streaming here in .mp3 format, check it out!!
On the subject of podcasts, check out the one Andrea Belanger did the other day for WSAR here. She is getting a lot of hype right now so support her by checking it out, especially if you've never given her songs a listen before!
I don't think it has ever been officially mentioned that Streets of Rage 3 is reforming and will be releasing a demo entitled the Sega Genocide EP this coming spring/summer. More to come on that.
Have Heart and the Mongoloids were supposed to play with Outrage at Gallery X at the end of this month, but after a lot of time on the phone and headaches on my part it fell through and will take place at the Tiger's Den in Brocton on February 27th. Gallery X would only allow two bands on the bill, and the cost of renting their space plus all the other expenses simply wasn't worth doing it.
It completely slipped my mind that The McCarthy-Richards Band put out a full length a few weeks ago called Private Eye. Click over to their myspace to give a listen and checkout all the shows they have lined up.
I've run the update bank pretty dry after all that I think, as always feel free to get in touch with show listings, mp3s, noodz, and show pics through the forums, myspace, aim, etc.

The
cover show at Granger Hall has been post-poned until sometime in March
due to the venue flaking out and asking a ton of money for insurance
coverage.
Check out FFAANNGGSS on MySpace, John DiSalvo has some great recordings up there.
In other DiSalvo related news, I'm pretty sure Elder is pressing their latest album on vinyl really soon. In the meantime, you can purchase the cd here.
Check out our MP3s section if you haven't been on it in a while, we're
hosting a ton of great stuff for free download. I'll be adding a few
more things when I get around to it.
If you're over 21, all my best buds
are playing at the Shakers Lounge and Night Club in Fall River on
January 23rd. The show is cheap, I'm not sure exactly how much. Word is
they have a free mechanical bull.
Get psyched on that flyer to your left. Wolf Whistle is Derek DaSilva, Trevor Vaughan, Pat Flynn, and Evan Radigan. Come up and support, I'll probably be there.
That's all the news I have for now, if you have hot gossip or hot noodz

Half Hearted Hero

I just uploaded Booker's set from the last NBROCK green bean show in August, check it on on the downloads page along with a .zip of Half Hearted Hero playing some songs acoustically on LaSalle's radio station a few weeks ago. I split the show up nice between songs and interviews.
Andrew of Bombed! is putting on a free show at the UMASS Birch Grille this saturday. Shit starts at 7 PM: (maybe in reverse order, this isn't the lineup)Math The Band, Tyrannosaurus Sex, Lima Research Society, EXILES, Jack of All Boxes... best of all it's Free!!
Half Hearted Hero are playing a basement show in Allston tomorrow night, I know it's real short notice on both of these but if you want more info go ask on the forums.
The new NBROCK shirts promised a long time ago will probably never see the true light of day, i think four people have one and i'm not one of them.
I don't think it's really been mentioned on here too much, but Bedford Academy were in the studio not too long ago recording tracks for an upcoming album to be released in the near future. Half Hearted Hero will be recording a full length at the end of december, it's getting released by some label (sorry meyer i forget the name) in japan. Hopefully hype from that speeds things up for them getting signed to Fat Wreck.
Jerry, Derek, Mike, and Tyler are starting a pop punk band. I don't know much else about it except that the demo Jerry let me hear ruled.

PRETTY RAD TO HAVE GARAGE SHOWS AGAIN I THINK
Also, in other New Bedford show news check out the flyer for FABULOUS on the left. No, it isn't E-Marce's newest dance party.
The new NBROCK shirts are coming soon, Nick Irzyk and myself have to cut the stencil out and paint them still but it's actually happening. The print (drawn by Rachel Rizzo) is on the left for your viewing pleasure, we're doing it in a bunch of colors. I haven't figured how much I have to charge for them, somewhere around $5.

If you haven't noticed already, i put up a TON of stuff up for download in the mp3s section. More stuff should be up by the end of this week, so keep checking.
In case anyone forgot or didn't know, this site does have forums for people like you to post on. Go make an account or log back into yours if you already have one and start posting again.
Wolf Whistle were supposed to play in Haverhill tonight, but the show got cancelled. Their 7" has been released on Troubled Mind records, 500 on black. It can be ordered for $4.00 + s&h- Here
There's a little show going on at Accubilliards tonight on Acushnet Ave In New Bedford. Sojourner/Sidetracked are playing with Outrage at AccuBilliards that night though.
Sojourner/Sidetracked and Outrage are on the bill, i'm not sure who else is playing but it starts at 5:00 PM and costs $8. Keynote is putting that on and another show on the 14th, check the flyer to your left for details on that.
That's about all the news I can think of. If you have access to some screen printing stuff get at me cause Rachel Rizzo made an awesome shirt design and i want to get that going and keep it cheap.

I'm moving up to Boston on Wednesday, I'll still be doing updates and looking into putting on a couple of shows. Most likely more Green Bean acoustic ones unless a new venue gets going.
Also, I have a massive amount of content to put up on the downloads page. I've been saying this for a while, but I swear its coming soon along with a nice new bands section. If you have some content you'd like on nbrock, feel free to send it over.
I have commissioned Rachel Rizzo into making a new nbrock design, so hopefully some new shirts will be coming out in a month or two. I believe Craig still has plenty of the newbedfordsucks ones, so get in touch with him if you want one.

Here's my first update for the new site, not too much to say here. Peep those two show flyers to your left, and then go to them.
Don't want to wait until then for a New Bedford show? You don't have to. NBROCK/Calico is bringing you two next week week on August 7th and August 9th. Scroll down a bit for all the details on the August 9th show, its more Craig's thing but I'll be there helping out. August 7th though, I'm gonna put on an acoustic show at the Green Bean downtown. It's five bucks kids, stay home if you aren't gonna pay up and support the scene (and probably your friends).
The lineup will be Booker, Andrea Belanger, The Painter's Son, This Is A Machine, It Ain't Easy and Tom O'Leary.
Oh, and the guy from 3 Dog Night and Lez Zeppelin are playing the feast, I think on Saturday. (I might be wrong). If you aren't on the forums yet get with it.

So I've decided after 4 years of a "real" website that it was stupid...and I figured i'm going to keep it real simple, more of a blog style website... news/flyers/downloads and forums about the music scene. thats it. now why is this a good thing and not a bad thing? Because it's SUPER easy to update now ...so instead of having a big outdated website... you'll have a small up-to-date webpage... and it will work on all your phones that have the internet (iphones, blackberries, sidekicks etc)
Let me know if you think this is good or bad!
