The Rationales - A great band to catch while you can

The Rationales led by Dave Mirabella, are one of the best bands to come out of Boston in quite a while. With solid songwriting chops, Mirabella weaves emotional lyrics with melodies that remind me of old Replacements, Beach Boys. Although some members have moved about the Brothers Mirabella remain the core of this great band, and one you should see. With a Kickstarter effort to finance their new record, they are building a great buzz about them in Boston. They'll be at Rosebud Bar in Somerville Mass, on Thursday, October 21st

It's good to see more than telecasters

It seems more and more bands are moving away from the strict " I must play a tele to play alt country" mindset - that bodes well IMHO
