PLAYGROUND BOSTON

If you live in Allston, a few months back you may have seen some ominous sidewalk tags en route to the The Silhouette, or The Whitehorse, or Herrell’s (yeah I know it’s Allston Cafe now), or if you have impeccable taste (like we do) Deep Ellum. These yellow and red stenciled markings said something about Hostages… something about Attacking a City? This vandalism was is in fact how we first learned about the budding Boston band Attack the City.

Signed to District Kills Records, this young troop will fill all your high-energy Screamo needs and then some. Bassist (and music-blogger) Nick Grieco and drummer Rudy Olivares hold down the impressively tight rhythm, while guitar duo Sean Killary and Sam Morgan churn out mean WAAF-ready riffs made to get you boys and girl jumping up and down. If you’re looking to add an adrenaline shot to your Tuesday night, head to All Asia in Cambridge on September 29th – get angry, get sad, get pumped with Attack the City, and then dance the night away with electro-pop label-mates Love Via Dance Machine. The pair are sharing the stage starting at 7 pm. Check em out, and pick up a copy of Attack the City’s debut release Hostages EP.
