Quarantine Age Wasteland: A Benefit for Boston's Small Venues
We've been seeing a ton of bands getting together and putting out compilations the past month. Recently, Quarantine Age Wasteland: A Benefit for Boston's Small Venues was released as a way to raise money to keep Midway Cafe, O'Brien's Pub, Once, and The Jungle able to reopen once it is safe to do so. Last week's closing of Great Scott just drives the need for such a benefit to exist even harder. Quarantine Age Wasteland: A Benefit for Boston's Small Venues leans more on the punk side of the Boston musical spectrum and includes 30 tracks. It starts off with the folk punk of Mickey Rickshaw. Carissa Johnson donates the straight up pop punk rock song "So Far So Good." Skytigers bring the metal heavy thrash punk with "Affordable Garbage."
