New music for Boston's winter of discontent

By MICHAEL MAROTTA | December 30, 2011

IN LIKE LIONS | Middle East upstairs | February 24 | Fort Point Recordings' eclectic roster has its many bases covered, from the bluesy garage rock of Viva Viva to the underground hip-hop styling of Mister Jason to the skygazing soar of Endless Wave. But busy at the label's bar ordering drinks for the ladies while everyone else is distracted is In Like Lions, a radio-destined pop-rock band whose new Through Red and Blue — recorded over 84 hours back in February — is a romantic homage to the long-lost heyday of the FM dial.

INTERVIEW: BRETT ANDERSON OF SUEDE ON NEW RECORD BLOODSPORTS, THE ART OF THE COMEBACK, AND GETTING HIS DEMON BACK | March 11, 2013
It's virtually impossible not to hold a so-called "comeback record" up against a band's past, and it's useless not to judge Suede's sixth studio effort, Bloodsports , out March 19 on INgrooves / Suede Ltd, against the UK rock band's 1990s history.
