Really Great
When and Where: Saturday, July 30 at 5:45 p.m. at The Rockwell.
Band Bio: Really Great is an Allston-based four piece that walks the line between power pop, punk, and emo. Their debut album, So Far, No Good, explores themes of loss, loneliness, and identity, all while being a fun listen with a lot of variety! At least, that’s my opinion, though I *am* the guy from the band. Really Great has played with (T-T)b, bedbug, Puppy Problems, Sidney Gish, and Alexander. Our sound would probably appeal to fans of Jeff Rosenstock, AJJ, Nana Grizol, Glass Beach, Me in Capris, and Rozwell Kid.
Fun Fact: “Sometimes, I make yeasted donuts for fun! Some favorite flavors I’ve made: lavender, matcha peppermint, honey dipped, banana, and grapefruit!”
