Trying to embrace the diversity and not get into
a debate of what is and what is not noise. Who am i missing? This is a
partial off the top of my head list (then alphabetized) of sorta NOISE-ish
anti-musicians, artists, photographers, engineers,
labels, djs, filmakers, writers, venues, promoters, and freaks around
and within earshot of 617 (Boston) and New England.
Granted some of these artists are in nearby
area codes (978 781 401 413 from Lowell to
to Amherst to Providence to Maine) and not exactly pure noise,
so boundaries of styles and location are stretched a bit.
I am not even sure of what exact
area code a lot of you are in.
Not really into starting local New England area code mafia turf war as i am just
just trying to SHARE and UNITE. Hopefully somebody in some of
the other local area codes will start interactive companion New England collectives. Very interested in reaching out to the other area code noise collectives around the world as well.
IF you are from or play shows (or create art in any form)
around the New England area (or coming from out of the area to play shows)
please get in touch to be included, all are welcome.
Especially want PEOPLE who are just plain FANS.
POST in the COMMENTS and make it more of a DO IT YOURSELF interactive collective. IF anybody has any 617 area VIDEOS or MP3s they want featured let me know directly or just POST IN THE COMMENTS.

SATAN DEVIL BLOOD 666 SWEDISH METAL 26 tracks. 21 minutes. murdercore + extratone + your absolute dissatisfaction. no effort shitcore from the hardest and most ridiculous artist in the boston massachusetts based vermin street collective.
reviews:
Billboard Magazine - "SDB666SM is by far the newest album ever from Boston's So_So_Gutter, ushering in a new era of newness"
Rolling Stone - "When I first heard that So_So_Gutter was back in the studio with Dre, I couldn't believe my nuts. On first listen I could barely hear myself cry!"
Cat Fancy - "Go see this timeless family classic with a date, it is definitely this generation's "Jurassic Park", with a suprising new twist, think Batm....., Oh, its an album?, Shit, really? I just thought...., Fuck!!!! Really?, This is a goddamn cat magazine?!!"
