Boston is crowded with indie bands and most of them, and also many acts out of Boston, found/find a home at RUM BAR RECORDS. To celebrate their 10th anniversary, they have
a 31-track compilation online, via Bandcamp and called it The Nice Price. Yes, you can download the whole shebang for free, although I’m sure throwing in some of your money would be much appreciated. RBR offer not only quantity here, but also, trust me, quality.

Press statement: “The compilation is part of Rum Bar capping off 10 years of music from Boston and beyond, specializing in the kind of garage-pop and rebel-rousing, swaggering that had made the label a fixture in the global music scene. The Nice Price pulls together more than 30 selections from Rum Bar’s 2023 release slate.”
