Boston Acoustic A40

In this history of aural culture in early-twentieth-century America, Emily Thompson charts dramatic transformations in what people heard and how they listened. What they heard was a new kind of sound that was the product of modern technology. They listened as newly critical consumers of aural commodities. By examining the technologies that produced this sound, as well as the culture that enthusiastically consumed it, Thompson recovers a lost dimension of the Machine Age and deepens our understanding of the experience of change that characterized the era.Reverberation equations, sound meters, microphones, and acoustical tiles were deployed in places as varied as Boston's Symphony Hall, New York's office skyscrapers, and the soundstages of Hollywood. The control provided by these technologies, however, was applied in ways that denied the particularity of place, and the diverse spaces of modern America began to sound alike as a universal new sound predominated. Although this sound--clear, direct, efficient, and nonreverberant---had little to say about the physical spaces in which it was produced, it speaks volumes about the culture that created it. By listening to it, Thompson constructs a compelling new account of the experience of modernity in America.

Vertical Horizon - The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar.

Boys Suck - Boys Suck was a Boston-based band that was formed somewhere around 2000 by members of the New York goth-rock outfit Binary Test Record. Originally known for being a sort of smug twee act with a drum machine, keyboard, bass, and acoustic guitar, the band had some lineup changes, which eventually led to it being a primarily solo venture by The Sleepwalker.

Bread And Roses - Bread And Roses is an all acoustic folk-punk band from Boston, Massachusetts. Their songs range from political, such as their rendition of the famous union ballad "dump the bosses off your back", to renditions of american folk music and even a song about becoming a whaler.
