Photos from the WBRU Dunkin’ Donuts Rock Hunt Kickoff Party with Fairhaven

Last Saturday was the WBRU Dunkin’ Donuts Rock Hunt 2010 kick-off party at Lupo’s, with Fairhaven headlining and Monty Are I performing a special acoustic set. The concert also doubled as Fairhaven’s CD release party for their debut LP Origins. Both bands put on energetic sets to a large and excited crowd. I especially enjoyed [...]

A Night of Champions: Fairhaven & The Johnny Lingo Band to play Firehouse 13

Just in case you needed yet another reason to wish that summer would just GET HERE ALREADY…here’s something else to add/circle/highlight/underline fifty times on your calendars. WBRU’s 2009 Rock Hunt and Venue Hunt winners will meet face to face (or face to…stage?) to remind us all why they’re the champions that they truly are.

Rock Hunt Finals at Lupo’s Featuring The [Viennagram:], Baylock, For the Love of Sloane, and Fairhaven

Emotions were on the line last night at Lupo’s. If you were there, you know exactly what I mean. When you add four excellent local bands with their respective fanbases, a huge crowd at Lupo’s, and the chance at plundering WBRU’s veritable treasure chest of prizes, you’re going to get a mix of anxiousness and [...]

Rock Hunt Semi-Finals #4 Recap: Fairhaven, Sean P. Rogan, and Far Off Place

Saturday’s Rock Hunt Semi-Finals will not be soon forgotten—at least not by me or any of the other BRU Crew people present at the Wheel House in Narragansett. Not only did we get to see a band that hinted of Incubus and Coldplay, the solo project of a member of Big D and the Kids Table, and an act that rocked so hard they made more than half the room form a mosh pit, but we literally got booed out of the place. More on that to come later.

Rock Hunt Semi-Finals #3 Recap: The Intel, Girl Haggard, and For the Love of Sloane

To put it simply, I was not ready for Friday night’s Rock Hunt Semi-Finals at Club Hell.
The Intel started it off strong, with a mosh pit forming just minutes into their set. This was somewhat surprising considering the pop punk sound of their Rock Hunt submissions, but you have to give credit to a band [...]

Rock Hunt Semi-Finals Round 2: The [Viennagram:], You Scream I Scream, and The Coming Weak at Jerky’s

Plunging through the Rock Hunt entries for this year, a couple of bands had certain—nuances?—that could hardly be ignored. As we clamored for good old fashioned alternative rock, we were surprised to find out about the multitude of other bands. You know the ones I’m talking about. First, you’ve got the ones who sign their [...]

Rock Hunt Profile #3: The Intel, Girl Haggard & For the Love of Sloane

Check out the third group of Rock Hunt semifinalists who will be battling it out at Club Hell this Friday. Details below.

The Intel

The Intel claims to have been raised by a pack of wild ninjas. All I know is that their pop-punk sound seems to be heavily influenced by New Found Glory, with hints of [...]
