We are sad to report that one of New England’s own, Phil Haggerty, has passed away, the Somos guitarist was 28. The Boston-based band, heartbroken as it is, stepped up by releasing their initially fall scheduled album Prison On A Hill early. The album’s proceeds went toward the family’s funeral expenses, with an additional $3,000 donated to the Heather Heyer Foundation. The band’s sound has always been characterized by its high-energy and no-holds-barred approach. The group’s latest single "Mediterranean" is a prime example of the massive sound of Somos: string instrument swells, heavy drums, and Haggerty’s electric guitar work fuel the single. Our support is with the Haggerty family and the remaining band members during this difficult time. We are streaming "Mediterranean" below. – Rene Cobar
