Fred Argir New Album ‘No Pushover’

There are moments during Fred Argir’s No Pushover album where he sounds a bit like the Sam Kinison of rock & roll. You remember comedian Sam Kinison, right? He was funny, just like all great comedians, but he was also one loud screamer. Kinison was the antithesis of Steven Wright, the quiet, monotone Bostonian best…

New Video By The Inoculated Canaries “Donna”

Some rock bands get over on aggression, or attitude, or pure sonic effrontery; others hang their hats on a slick, produced sound. We’re not knocking any of that stuff; we’re rock fans too, and we love all of the conventions of the style. But the hardest thing to do is to write a robust and…

Fred Argir’s “Beggar’s Anthem,” is a hard charging rock & roll song. It’s slightly harder than the Goo Goo Dolls, and very much Tim era Replacements.
