Last night while most folks were experiencing Boardwalk Empire hysteria, Dave Duncan teamed up with WFNX radio and offered up the best in new and tested Boston-based rock n' roll. In case you missed the latest edition of the always-enjoyable and often informative Boston Accents, check the playlist below and follow the linkage to potentially find your new favorite local band. Also, I dropped by the 'FNX the studio this morning to discuss some of the finer local releases this fall, giving prime-time morning drive-time airplay to tracks by You Can Be A Wesley and the New Collisions (though I think I talk over both clips). Check the podcast here, and keep it locked to WFNX 101.7 FM or www.wfnx.net every Sunday night from 8 to 10 p.m. for Boston Accents! (And hey, for the record, the Gozu photo up above was shot by Nicole Tammaro.)
