Listen Later

On today's all new episode of the cast, we chat about all the Boston bands that got their start and made their mark on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. So many legendary and established bands from the Bay State got their start on the Modern Rock Tracks chart and we chat about when they debuted, their first song to chart, where they peaked, and how they made their mark on the chart and on listener's lives as well. We run the gamut from The Pixies, Til Tuesday, Aimee Mann, Dinosaur Jr., The Breeders, American Hi-Fi, Powerman 5000, and so much more. We talk about how The Mighty Mighty Bosstones made their first commercial crossover hit with "The Impression That I Get" that put Boston on the map as a powerhouse for cutting-edge and breakthrough bands. At the end of the cast, we play Letters To Cleo and their 1995 breakthrough smash "Here & Now" that showed the melodic and emotional thunder power that resonated so strongly within Kay Hanley and the confines of the group.
