My intention is to spotlight bands and performers from both the Boston area, and the world. The show features music that is often against the grain and under the radar. I aim to focus on the performers, with little else to distract the viewer. I also make an effort to get inside the artist�s heads. Sonic Lobotomy is non profit.

      SL#43 - THE FU'S

      Back when I was a zit faced 13 year old, I would take the train into Boston and go to all the great all ages hardcore punk shows. One of my favorite bands to see was the FU's. John Sox and crew understand the intersection between punk rock and rock and roll... and the FU's always delivered the goods on stage. When the band got back together recently, I made it a point to get them on my show. They obliged and they played a fantastic set.

      SL#42 - FULL POWERED HALO

      Mark Duchane has been a good friend of mine for years. He plays guitar and sings for Full Powered Halo. They are a veteran band that writes catchy rock songs and their sound is influenced by the shoe gazing bands of the 90's like The Catherine Wheel and Oasis. They put on a pasionate performance at our studio, and I was fortunate to have captured the power of their sound and stage act. This is a particularly good sounding show... and much of this is due to the audio talents of our sound man Ma...

      SL#40 - THE DOOM BUGGIES

      I have known Bruce from The Doom Buggies since I was a teenager. I've always regarded him as a talented musician. Over the years, we have bumped into eachother at various concerts and events, and I was always glad to see him and catch up on life, wives, kids, mutual friends, and mostly music. When I started doing this show, I wanted to get Bruce and his band on for an episode, we played a little email tag.... and finally, after 39 shows, we got his band in the studio. This is a good one. The D...

      SL#38 - ANTIBODIES

      Antibodies debut disc is called "Live fast, die old school" and that title is a good indicator of their old school punk rock assault. This veteran band pounds out a tight and furious mixture of classic and hardcore influenced punk with a distinct local Boston flavor. Songs like "Grave digger" show a nihilistic influence. Other songs like "Penis Intravenous" display a crass humor that lightens everything up. Singer Tony Debaggis stalks the studio looking like GG Allin's long lost son. The broth...

      SL#37 - THE BATTLESHIPS COMETH

      Boston has spawned some amazing rock bands in recent years, and among the latest crop are The Battleships Cometh. Battleships manage to merge hard rock and funk in a unique way. They draw from classic rock influences like Led Zep and Hendrix, and they also lay down the funk, pointing to their groove influence with a great Sly Stone cover. Lead singer Leilani wails with passion over Jon Keane's guitar acrobatics, and the tight groove of drummer Jamie Watt and bassist Mike Razo. It all adds up t...

      SL#36 - THE MGUNKS

      The McGunks are a solid punk rock foursome from Rhode island. They paid their dues by playing hundreds of shows all over the place, and their live set is poweful and tight as a result of this. They embody the honest, working class spirit that is at the heart of most good local puk rock. They sing of struggles with work and girlfriends, as well as the joys of drinking and friendship. Their two minute anthems are catchy and furious. The cover versions of Kenny Rogers and Judas Preist demonstrate...

      SL#35 - SHAKYFOOT

      Shakyfoot are a classic power trio. They are veterans of the New England rock scene. Their sound is influenced by heavy blues guitar powered rock legends like Hendrix and Clapton. I hear something unique and appealing in their music, and that is why I insisted that they come on my show. They have mastered the ability to improvise, but they still write cohesive songs that are all well crafted sctructurally, musically, and lyrically. They do not get lost in pointless noodling like so many medioc...

      Anyone who can appreciate good music can appreciate a prodigy. Dennis Taylor is just that.. This young man from Charlestown Massachusetts has mastered multiple instruments, and he can sing with soul. Dennis has amazing musical talent, and a vast knowledge and appreciation for all types of music, and he is only 14 years old. My crew and I set up the lights and microphones, and Dennis did the rest. He delivered a diverse mixture of his original R+B inspired songs, as well as interpretations of s...

      SL#33 - STOMPING GROUND

      Oi has always been a favorite genre of mine. I like the way that OI has no pretensions. OI is a raw, working class music. Oi is the purist of the many types of punk rock. Colin Moran from Western Mass band The Damaged turned me on to a young Oi band from his area called Stomping Ground. These guys are still in their mid teens, and they play with fury and reckless abandon. Stomping ground singer Trevor reminds me of early Black Flag era Henry Rollins. He stalked around the TV studio barking out...
