Former Burlington folks/ Hardly Art recording artists
PRETTY & NICE
Tucked away in a basement somewhere on the outskirts of Boston, there is a secret lair filled with motley recording equipment, and a neatly organized cache of guitars, synths and other flashing electronics. The stockpile of gadgetry is owned and operated by three young gentlemen who call themselves Pretty & Nice.

YOU CAN BE A WESLEY
GENRE | SURF ROCK MEETS GIRL POP
VERDICT | THE BAND TO WATCH, SERIOUSLY
RELEASE | 6.27.09
“After spending last fall scattered around the world, Allston’s You Can Be a Wesley reunited for an all-new full-length, Heard Like Us. The band had three months to record eight songs and, ladies and gentlemen, you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to know this shit is good. Wesley’s signature girl-pop and indie-rock echoes the sounds of the East Coast surf-and-sand culture—the group formed at BU and singer Saara Untracht-Oakner is from Long Island. It might have been she and bassist Nick Curran’s semester down under or guitarist Winston MacDonald’s adventures in South America, but Heard Like Us is the album equivalent of the perfect wave, steamy summers and life on distant shores. Since their humble beginnings nearly four years ago, the band’s gone from sweaty basement shows to sold-out concerts with indie tastemakers. They’re kicking off their New England tour this week, peppering dates up and down the coast. For Boston proper, YCBAW is the band to watch.” – Read the Review at weeklydig.com

– BIG BIG BUCKS –
“Fresh-faced Allston foursome The Big Big Bucks blend the anvil-heavy blues rock of early Zeppelin with the melodicism of classic pop in a sod-off punk-rock sorta way that would make Kurt Cobain proud.” – Boston Phoenix
