RIBS “Alarms” --Last week the Somerville apartment of Andre Obin (he of Endless Wave, Eyes Like Knies, Matters & Dunaway, and his solo efforts) caught ablaze due to an electrical fire, and he lost much of his personal belongings in addition to his home studio and music gear. I reached out to the Boston music scene to create a compilation, and the response has been incredible. Eighteen artists/bands have contributed, and as of press time, it's the 10th-best selling record on Bandcamp today. RIBS are included on it...

M.O.O.N. “Warehouse featuring Glass Teeth” -- ... as is M.O.O.N, the techno project from Stephen Gilarde, as well as...
