We’re already a month into the summer concert season, and before we know it the sidewalks will once again be plastered with fallen leaves (or worse, snow). So make these remaining weeks memorable with some of the best live music offerings in Boston handpicked by the staff at Sound of Boston. Check out who we recommend seeing these last two weeks of July!

RX Bandits at House of Blues Boston – Selected by Tom
There’s nothing better than getting the chance to see a band that you thought you may never get to once they disbanded – if you were a fan of Rx Bandits, then you’ll be getting your chance on July 23rd at the House of Blues. The Seal Beach, CA natives are making a foray into town bringing their eclectic rock/ska/R&B stylings along for the ride as they return from the three year hiatus since the release of their last album Mandala. Along with the tour the Rx Bandits released a new album “Gemini, Her Majesty” on July 22nd which will also mark a strong return for the horns and brass instruments many early fans enjoyed.
Dirty Heads with Pepper and Aer at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion – Selected by Beth
Nowhere are the golden sounds of summer more present than in The Dirty Heads’ sunshine-infused tunes. They’ll be bringing their laid-back beats to Boston on the 23rd with Reggae-rock band Pepper and Boston’s own Aer. Expect lots of head-bopping summer jams and a chill, upbeat summer vibe.

The Kooks at Paradise Rock Club – Selected by Knar
These British rockers return to Boston with a new sound — their latest album proves a welcome departure from their older material. After playing House of Blues last time they were in town, Paradise will be an intimate treat for fans.
