We are always digging deep into New England’s talent garden to find rising artists from all corners of the region: we have unearthed a March gem we want to share with you. Derry, New Hampshire’s Aaron Noj released his single "M.O.T.M." with little fanfare and in relative obscurity but its bite should not be ignored as it leaves a lasting mark. Aaron rebels against the tranquility of Derry’s quaint Main Street and the town’s overall serenity with sharp grunge guitar chords that reverberate violently. Aaron’s distant voice is melancholic, angst-fueled, entrancing—grunge music’s preference. The culminating instrumental breakdown is destructive and has a lo-fi sound to it that delivers a cathartic finish. Whatever emotion you are feeling, Aaron’s track will be sure to discover it and animate it. We are looking forward to some show listings from this alternative artist; stream “M.O.T.M.” below. – Rene Cobar
