Here's a recap of last night's Boston Accents playlist, where host Dave Duncan highlights the best in new and tested New England-born rock n' roll. Tune in to Boston Accents every Sunday night from 8 to 10 pm, 101.7 on the old FM dial and streaming live at wfnx.net. Yes, this was a very-straight forward and no-nonsense intro. Blee-dat.
