By Tess Cychosz, on May 9th, 2012 | Happenings  Our very own Jeff Goodman is heading to The Great Escape in Brighton this weekend – and I have to say, I’m pretty jealous. Not only is Brighton one of the coolest towns I’ve ever been to (I mean, who doesn’t like a charming English coastal city?) but this year’s lineup is so killer. And we’re proud to say that over 50 of the acts playing this year are Sonicbids members.
Here’s the full list of the bands that got their gig at The Great Escape this year using Sonicbids. I’m telling ya, there’s not a bad band in the bunch here, but I’ve highlighted some of my personal favorites (aka, the bands that I’ll be crying a bit over when I think about how I’m not seeing them this weekend.)
And if you’ll be there this weekend, you can hassle Jeff @goodmanjeff!

By Kate Myers, on May 3rd, 2012 | Happenings Picture this – NYC skyline, summer heat and Snoop on stage in front of a crazy crowd. That’s precisely what one lucky music-lover will get when they enter to win tickets to Catalpa NYC. 
If you haven’t heard of Catalpa yet, you will. With headliners The Black Keys, Snoop Dogg, TV On The Radio & Girl Talk, this NYC festival has to be on your radar. Besides, we’re pretty stoked that four Sonicbids members are on the lineup too!
If two days of amazing music and New York fun isn’t enough, the winner will also take home 2 pairs of Gratitude headphones from Monster, Inc. Besides the fact that Earth, Wind & Fire endorse these bad boys (yes, that Earth, Wind & Fire), the headphones are super slick and reproduce the sound of a great live performance. Want more? OK fine, we’ll give you $100 for whatever mischief you get into in NYC.
So hop to it. Enter to win tickets to Catalpa, the headphones and . . . → Read more

By Kate Myers, on April 30th, 2012 | Happenings With the temperatures slowly heating up here in Boston, our minds are on summer festival season. Honestly, we’re not sure what we love more than live music under the hot sun (maybe a cold one to go with it?). That’s why we are giving away 5 pairs of tickets to some of summer’s hottest lineups, like Bumbershoot.
Bumbershoot is known for it’s mix of local rockers and international superstars all getting down in the great city of Seattle. And while we can’t tell you who is headlining just yet, trust me, this year’s bill can’t be denied.
One winner will get prepped for Bumbershoot with 2 pairs of Ncredible N-Ergy headphones. Yea, these suckers are known to deliver your music with a punch and look pretty slick even when they’re just hanging around your neck. Just ask Nick Cannon.
But seriously, you can only enter to win through . . . → Read more

Boston-born rapper ATM has been hard at work defining a style he calls “perspective lyricism”, a mix, he explains, of individual insights and voices not common in hip hop today. Across two LPs and last year’s “Business Casual” mix tape, ATM’s complex narratives and and classic instrumentation style have already captured quite an audience.
We caught up with the man himself to discuss his upbringing, what makes his style unique, and what MCs inspired him.
You grew up in Boston and attended Boston Latin Academy, how has your hometown affected your music?
Boston is what I would like to call an “ethnic quilt,” made up of a variety of individuals from all over the world. Being able to make music that any group of peoples can relate to has been at the core of what inspires my musical creativity. I strive to reach out to every neighborhood in my city, from the tightly-knit community of Southie to the urban mecca of Roxbury.
