This is a page of music links and we want it to be the best. Please suggest other websites to the Young Adult Librarian on your next visit to the library. I have my favorite bands – old school groups like Clash, Gang of 4, Rancid, Frank Black, Rage Against the Machine – but I try to listen to new music, too. Some of my current favorites include LP, Jeff the Brotherhood, Arcade Fire, The Wavves, Best Coast, The Thermals, Immortal Technique, Saul Williams, Jay Reatard, Battles, Girl Talk…and many others. I’m sure you have your favorites, too. But listen to one new band every month for all of your life!
Teen Musicians! Are you in a band? We want you! The Swampscott Public Library is sponsoring the 11th annual local teen band concert on Saturday, June 22nd 4-9pm at Fisherman’s Beach in Swampscott.
