Grungy NJ based trio Only Living Boy plays Mercury on 12.29 (tonight)

New Jersey based group Only Living Boy bring back that sound bred in the 90s when some grunge artists rediscovered the power of blues (think early Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog). The band just ended a 30 date nationwide tour supporting its sophomore album “Hide Nothing”. The band’s songs, filled with bluesy guitar riffs, heavy driving bass lines and raw vocals, have also been in rotation at more than 200 radio stations, while their latest video for “I Hear Music” has been popping up in several blogs across the nation. Only Living Boy will be playing at The Mercury Lounge on Nov. 29th and Feb. 8th at Bowery Electric in NYC. – Christine Cauthen
