The Chuckness

Remember that addictive track “Honey” by The Parlotones that we posted last week? If not, remind yourself below. The South Africans have a new album hitting shelves next Tuesday (5/8), and it’s an entirely refreshing listen. Too often these days shit sounds exactly the same, and these guys have managed to separate themselves from the pack through songs like “Honey”. Journey Through The Shadows in it’s entirety is made up of unique, modern rock tracks just like this. Anyways, we’ve managed to score a pair of tickets to give away to their concert here in Boston at The Brighton Music … Continue reading →

Cris Cab is back in Boston right before Christmas, set to play a show on Friday, 12/23 at The Brighton Music Hall. The kid’s just returned from a national tour opening for O.A.R., and is about to begin another tour with everyone’s favorite Jewish rapper, Matisyahu.

HOW TO ENTER: 1. “Like” The Chuckness on Facebook. 2. Write on our wall, and … Continue reading →

Tinie Tempah exploded onto the American music scene this past summer with his Billboard smash “Written In The Stars”. Once you get that initial chart-topper in the U.S., anything’s possible. Collaborating with Wiz Khalifa on “Till I’m Gone” definitely hasn’t hurt his cause. We recently linked up with Tinie’s team via Cornerstone Promotion in order to provide you (the people) with a little prize-pack. Included in the prize-pack you’ll find: – A copy of Tinie Tempah’s Disc-Overy album – A Tinie Tempah “Disturbing London” t-shirt – $100 iTunes gift card What do you have to do to win you ask? Well since this … Continue reading →

I’ll let you know who the winner (+ guest) is come Friday at 5 p.m. Doors open at 8 p.m. @ The Middle East in Cambridge on Saturday night. Bring your proper rage attire and be prepared to crush $4 Narragansett tall-boys. If … Continue reading →

It’s still summer. People still need shades more than ever. Our first contest was a raging success; so Midwest Shades hit us up again and this time around they want to dish out goodies to TWO lucky winners.  Just like last time, you win the contest, and you get to choose your pick from the Midwest arsenal. We’ll take care of the rest. On top of that, they’re tossing in a free Midwest Shades koozie for each winner as well. What’s better then cold beverages and a pair of dynamite shades? They also want to get a little inspiration from … Continue reading →

Cris Cab’s been getting a ton of positive feedback from you guys ever since we first posted his “All of the Lights” cover a while back. Since then, the 17 year-old Miami native has followed it up with a bunch of new songs, and his debut EP Foreword. That being said, he’s playing up in Boston two weeks from today (6/29) at an extremely intimate, nearly sold out venue (O’Brien’s Pub in Allston) — and we have two free tickets to give away at our disposal. The show currently has less than 30 tickets available, so if you don’t win, if … Continue reading →

It’s contest season again. The temperature is rising, baseball season is in full swing, and everybody’s starting to show a little more skin. What better time to snag a free pair of shades? To protect all of your retinas from sun damage, the guys over at Midwest Shades hit me up to run a little promotion on the site. If you’re the type that goes out and buys $200 Raybans and then runs them over in your Pathfinder, then Midwest Shades will be your savior. They offer legitimately cool styles for low prices, because they understand that sunglasses are meant … Continue reading →

Meet Justin Jones, an acoustic singer/song-writer coming out of Charlottesville, VA. I just discovered him via a random promo email, and decided to check out what kind of music he was putting out there. Risky move on my part, as a solid 63% of shit that gets sent to my inbox is horrifyingly terrible. There are your gems in there for sure, but you have to scour a bit. Anyways, as I hit this acoustic songwriter’s website, creatively titled justin-jones.com, his track “Little Fox” started playing immediately, and it struck a chord with me. Long story short, I got a … Continue reading →
