    9-2001 --- Quabbin Reservoir Local Music Scene: Locobazooka and Quabbin Bands Review by Nicole Moriarty A lot of people have been going out to the local band shows lately and it's not just because of a cheap entrance fee. There's a lot of real talent to be seen and heard over the past six months in our area, and its guaranteed that you know some of the young adults responsible for the dramatic change in our music scene.

"Jimmy Eat World, and the Deftones were ahead of their time, and kids are starting to pick up on this and they're following the new wave sound, and using it to their advantage and creating more musical music off of it." August Avenue is a new local band, with a hardcore sound like a Deftones - Alien Ant Farm hybrid...
