As our longtime followers will know, we’re always busy here at Real Gone. That said, we’ve rarely been busier than right now, and the last couple of months have served up a whole world of great new sounds.

Watch: Queens Of The Stone Age – Live On KEXP (full show, pro shot)
Queens of the Stone Age have come a long way since the release of their stoner rock infused debut. The many musical twists they’ve taken haven’t always worked out for the best, but you probably couldn’t accuse them of being a band who’ve churned out the same album time and again.
Watch: Sick of It All live in 2014 & 2018 (full shows, pro shot)
Sick of It All were one of America’s most celebrated and beloved hardcore bands. Their recorded legacy is remarkably consistent in terms of quality, and their later albums present a more accessible brand of hardcore than many of their contemporaries. While nineties albums ‘Scratch The Surface’ and ‘Built To Last’ gained most of the music industry’s praise, lesser known recordings such as 2014’s ‘Last Act of Defiance’ present an equally powerful band, now of veteran status, but not resting on their musical laurels.
Real Gone Presents: A Boston Round-Up, July 2026
There’s a lot of music pouring out of Boston and its suburbs in the summer of 2026. So much, in fact, that we’re making a return visit in record time! Previous Round Ups have thrown a spotlight onto a wealth of underground acts and independent musicians, and this visit is no exception. You’ll recognise a few familiar names, but hopefully discover a few new ones too, as we dip into a selection of tunes that takes in alternative rock, power pop, garage rock, alt country and singer songwriter’s wares. As always, we hope you enjoy what you hear…

Real Gone Presents: A Boston Round-Up, June 2026
With a lot of great music pouring out of the city over the last couple of months, it’s time to take a return trip to Boston! A couple of very familiar names can be found showcasing new and recent wares, but this is still much a celebration of the newer sounds emerging from that region of the US. We’ve got an unexpected tribute to a Britpop past, a glam infused banger, and a couple of superb indie themed tracks to fill your ears, and more besides. If you find something new to enjoy – and we certainly hope that will be the case – why not drop by and tell us? Happy listening!
