All A Capprofile: The BU Dear Abbeys
The Boston University Dear Abbeys are everything an all-male a cappella group should be and more. The group was founded in 1992, creating the first group of its kind at Boston University. Since then, they have had many accomplishments that only a few groups can boast. In 2005, the group won the International Championship of [...]
Revo Radar: A-Trak
If you haven’t heard of “Barbra Streisand”, then I don’t know what the Duck Sauce you’re waiting for. That is A-Trak and he has been rolling the globe for years, his works even being covered on X-Factor and Glee. Well, enough of the puns (for now). A-Trak is just a “Big Bad Wolf” that started [...]
Thoughts on Theater: The Tony Awards
Last Sunday was the 66th Annual Tony Awards and as always, they did not fail to provide entertainment to us faithful Broadway supporters. It was a night full of tearful acceptance speeches, aging divas, celebrities who have very little to do with Broadway, and Neil Patrick Harris just being brilliant. In years past, I have [...]
John Fullbright on Coffeehouse
For this week’s edition of The Coffeehouse, we at WERS were fortunate enough to have John Fullbright come in studio for a live session. Fullbright’s first studio album, From the Ground Up, was released earlier this year, but this was not his first album. Contrary to standard industry practice, his first release was actually a [...]

Step right up, Playgroundgoers – it’s time to set foot into the new big top circus that is the Recess Monkey album, In Tents!

Digging Through the Crates #5
A few months ago I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Mike Kinsella, the front man of projects like Owen and American Football along with the drummer of Cap’n Jazz. If you don’t know who Mike Kinsella is, then you are missing out on a really important part of the 90s: emo. People now consider [...]

All A Capprofile: Brandeia Voicemale
In March of this year, WERS hosted an All A Cappella Live Competition, where many of the best Boston collegiate A Cappella groups competed. The Brandeis University Voicemale group was one of the competitors, and though they didn’t win the competition this year they recently had another chance to prove themselves. At the CARAs this year, [...]
“Dee Does Broadway” by Dee Snider
I enjoyed seeing Rock of Ages, but its success has caused me a great deal of frustration. With the introduction of an 80s jukebox musical, all of this power rock began to infiltrate my beloved Standing Room Only Playlists. Then I heard news that Rock of Ages star and front man for Twisted Sister, Dee [...]
