But, fortunately, there\u2019s a low-effort way for anyone to get the word out. The subjects of these profiles were all discovered through stickers they left in concert venue bathrooms, a tactic they all claim was practically second nature. So the next time you spot a cool sticker at your favorite hangout spot, give them a listen\u2014you might just find a new local favorite.<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap\">COUCH SEX<\/h1>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Most bands are on Spotify and Apple Music. The bands who\u2019ve \u201cmade it\u201d are probably on Tidal as well. But North Shore-based party punks Couch Sex are on the bleeding edge of a new musical forefront: Pornhub.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI feel like we\u2019re probably going to keep releasing music there first,\u201d says bassist Mat Petrone. \u201cIt\u2019s probably the only website people are going to search \u201ccouch sex\u201d on. The last time we looked at [the uploads], they had, like, 3,000 views. A lot of thumbs down&#8230;but they <em>did <\/em>see us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Their, let\u2019s say, <em>innovative <\/em>approach to advertisement is just one aspect of Couch Sex\u2019s humor-first mentality. \u201cWe\u2019re supposed to be fun, not good,\u201d guitarist Keith Young adds. \u201cSatire\u2019s definitely a big part of it. [Couch Sex] is almost, like, a character piece.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Key to the construction of the Couch Sex character is a solid sense of humor, and one glance at their social media presence will check that box. Whether it\u2019s tattooing each other\u2019s names on a dare, or repurposing meme templates to advertise their shows, the members of Couch Sex are serious about not taking themselves too seriously. There\u2019s no better marker of their sense of humor than Young\u2019s old stage guitar, a self-described \u201cbeater\u201d covered in various paint-marker obscenities, with \u201cCouch Sex sucks\u201d written on the fretboard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\t\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to play,\u201d Young claims. \u201cWe just glued a bunch of shit to it, and now I can\u2019t see any of the fret numbers. I haven\u2019t touched it in like two years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">But, character piece or not, their blend of hardcore and party-punk influences helps create a sound that\u2019s as genuine as they come. Across their social media platforms, Couch Sex will consistently describe themselves as \u201cTony Hawk punk\u201d, in reference to the timeless soundtracks for the Tony Hawk\u2019s Pro Skater videogames. It\u2019s an instantly recognizable relationship, with rough, raw vocals in the style of Swingin\u2019 Utters, or the instant connection between Reverend Horton Heat\u2019s \u201cI Can\u2019t Surf\u201d and Couch Sex\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Swim\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">&nbsp;Their signature deviation from these classic influences, according to Petrone, is the ability to get weird: with four-word anthemic jams like \u201cDo Drugs Eat Bugs\u201d or the Cool Runnings sample on \u201cCheap Ass Whiskey\u201d, Couch Sex approaches music with fun as priority one. Their shows are no different, either\u2014as Young puts it, \u201c[their] shows are fun as hell.\u201d In fact, live performances are Couch Sex\u2019s biggest selling point.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI definitely recommend going to our shows before listening to one of our albums. We\u2019re an experience band. One of our songs, Matt and I pretty much never sing it. We\u2019ll teach people how to sing our songs and pass the mic around the room, or go into the pit with our guitars. As a band, we really like to get people involved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">But a terrible tragedy lies buried within the history of Couch Sex, immortalized forever in their song, \u201cCan\u2019t Swim\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cFor a while, we were trying to be surf-y. But, when we finally got together for real, it just never really surfed. Apparently, it\u2019s hard to make surf music, and you can\u2019t really be surf-y when you\u2019re in Massachusetts. So, now, it\u2019s almost like an ironic thing. We <em>can\u2019t <\/em>swim, and we <em>can\u2019t<\/em> surf. We\u2019re trash people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">As a concept, trash is as core to the identity of Couch Sex as their inimitable humor or all-out live performances. They drink cheap whiskey, they can\u2019t swim, and they only shower when the subject of \u201cBad Luck Charm\u201d is in Boston. On their track \u201cRat Shit\u201d, Young growls out the essence of the band\u2014\u201ca couple of rats, doing our best.\u201d That\u2019s who Couch Sex are: basement trash, Tony Hawk punks, who can\u2019t swim or surf, just doing their best.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap\">TRACK MEAT<\/h1>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Two hours\u2019 drive away from the bustling Boston underground is the small town of Amherst, Massachusetts. Home to three major universities, and the northernmost tip of New England\u2019s \u201cKnowledge Corridor\u201d, Amherst was practically designed for Bohemian creatives. Amherst band Track Meat spoke highly of their home scene during our interview, with nothing but glowing praise for its community\u2019s generosity and acceptance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201c[Amherst] is this huge group of people, and a lot of them really enjoy music, and the arts, and everything like that,\u201d guitarist and bassist Mike Bergeron tells me. \u201cThat\u2019s definitely one thing we really enjoy about the town. It\u2019s really helpful for us to get our specific feelings into music.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">As a band anchored at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Track Meat\u2019s creative endeavors are welcomed with open arms, both by student organizations and the city at large. After all, Amherst is no stranger to fostering alternative rock acts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cMatt [Comoletti, Track Meat\u2019s guitarist]\u2019s favorite band, Dinosaur Jr. are from here. It\u2019s such a rich musical town, and there are all these organizations on campus helping organize shows. It\u2019s always amazing to see how many people want to come out and support smaller artists. And, being a small artist in the area, that\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Writing what they call \u201cvaguely depressing post-punk\u201d, Track Meat\u2019s sound toes the line between harmony and total sonic meltdown, soaked in reverb and snarling distortion. It\u2019s a unique kind of musical catharsis, building tension and releasing it explosively, like taking a deep breath in before screaming your heart out. With that kind of emotional vulnerability, it\u2019s no wonder that Track Meat\u2019s musical philosophy revolves around self-expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cMusic has always been a way of clarifying our emotions,\u201d says Bergeron. \u201cWe really enjoy being able to clear our heads, and put the stuff going on in the broader world into specific words.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">While their music might sound serious, the members themselves are anything but. Drummer John Davis describes their live atmosphere as \u201ceasygoing, but committed to making sure our music actually sounds good.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cWe have our stuff down,\u201d Comoletti adds. \u201cWe\u2019re not super sloppy or anything, but we\u2019re not standing up there like statues, either. We\u2019re hanging out, we\u2019re up there playing, and making sure everybody\u2019s having a good time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">The journey to form Track Meat in its current iteration mirrors the casual composure of its members, too. Where the Beatles started with a church band, and the Rolling Stones started with a trashy flat in London, Track Meat begins with a bed sale on Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cSo, how we found [Davis], is\u2014we were moving into our apartment, and I needed a bed,\u201d Comoletti begins. \u201cI see this guy selling a bed on Facebook Marketplace\u2026 he comes over, and my bass is sitting in the corner. Turns out, he plays drums, and my band needs a drummer. So, I give him a sticker, and tell him to let me know if he\u2019s interested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cThat\u2019s basically it,\u201d Davis continues. \u201cI thought it was kind of weird, y\u2019know, this dude was asking me to join his band when I just sold him a bed. But, I listened to them on Spotify, and thought, \u2018Yeah, this sounds pretty fun, I can get down with this.\u2019 And it\u2019s working out pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">With Davis as a part of the lineup, a renewed and reinvigorated Track Meat has already hit the touring circuit, playing shows across New England with great support from small music towns not too dissimilar to their own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cWe played a gig at Rhode Island College, at their radio station, we played a smaller gig at our hometown friend\u2019s basement\u2026 we\u2019re really just trying to get more shows in the scene out here. There\u2019s a lot of promise in the Amherst scene,\u201d Bergeron tells me. \u201cWe\u2019ve had really great shows out here, and that\u2019s awesome.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align:center;white-space:pre-wrap\">THE GRANITEERS<\/h1>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">When you\u2019re trying to make \u201cgood, hard-hitting, melodic music\u201d, as guitarist Nick Ferrero puts it, it helps to have a rock-solid foundation. And with a sound steeped in power-pop and punk rock, Manchester, New Hampshire band The Graniteers have carved out a revivalist niche that Ferrero asserts anyone will like.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cWe can kind of chameleon into any sort of situation, within the New England music scene. If we\u2019re on a bill with some lighter bands, we can be a little more high-energy, and if we\u2019re on a bill with a bunch of hardcore bands, then we\u2019re a good break in between them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">By his own admission, Ferrero, the creative force behind The Graniteers, isn\u2019t seeking to reinvent the wheel. But to Ferrero, keeping it simple is a guiding principle towards solving what the band sees&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">&nbsp;\u201cWe kind of take pride in it, honestly. Music\u2019s become so factioned, and we\u2019re just trying to bring back all the things that matter in rock and roll\u2014getting people dancing, getting people moving, that kind of power-pop mentality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">So, in order to get back to the roots of rock and roll, The Graniteers lean heavily on their own roots, as lifetime musicians and emphatic believers in the value of a good local scene.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cEverybody\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, man, our scene here sucks, it used to be so much better, you have to go here, or here\u2019. But, when you go there, people there think it sucks. So, it\u2019s really what you make of it, you know? Home is where you make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">To The Graniteers, music is as much a community as it is a job. From acts in folk and Oi-punk to tribute performances, members of The Graniteers occasionally crop up in other acts across greater New England, and rebuke the binding of bands to their home cities entirely.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI like to tell people we\u2019re a New England band. If you think about it, even in those smaller states, it isn\u2019t hard for, say, a New Hampshire band to play New York, or Boston. So, I get a little annoyed when people are, like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re a New Hampshire band.\u2019 We\u2019re a Boston band, too, you know, since we\u2019re an hour away. It\u2019s a little silly\u2014and I think it should be more unified.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">Ferrero has certainly earned his wings as a New England musician. Formerly of New Jersey\u2019s Hudson Falcons, with several solo releases under his belt, he\u2019s been playing music in one form or another since the early \u201800s. For him, live music is a way of life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap\">\u201cI played my first show at my high school cafeteria when I was 16. That was the best show I\u2019ve ever played, because it was the first time I experienced being in front of an audience. Now, I\u2019ve been doing it so long that I do it just to do it, you know? I don\u2019t know any better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"\">The subjects of these profiles were all discovered through stickers they left in concert
