Weekly Wrap-Up: 4/7/14

If you regularly take the MBTA, then you probably have spotted a bear jamming out on its keytar, performing for passerbys as they wait their train.  Since his first performance, the T’s Keytar Bear has become quite the local celebrity and has garnered a huge following on Facebook. A few days ago, Boston Magazine had an exclusive interview with the man behind the bear, in which he reveals his reasoning behind the bear costume and his motivations for performing for the public.

A couple weeks ago, Berklee School of Music alum E.L.E.I released an original song titled “Love is Louder”, dedicated to the victims of the Newton and Boston tragedies. She hopes that through her song, people can use “love to conquer violence.” Be sure check out her music video and support E.L.E.I by purchasing her song through iTunes.

Last week, Metal Wani interviewed Revocation’s lead vocalist David Davidson on the band’s newest self-titled album. This interview gives readers a look inside into this heavy metal band’s song-writing process and discusses the inspiration behind the band’s music.

And for all you heavy metal fans out there, the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is coming back on April 17th! This three-day festival features a great lineup of rock bands like All That Remains and Behemoth. Tickets are on sale now and available here.
