HPR puts out material by artists we enjoy, its fairly straight forward."

- Throughout 2003-2005 Steve Gisselbrecht documented his immense concert going adventures. It looks like he might have taken a bit of a haitus as of mid-December 2005. After nearly three years of almost daily reviews and write-ups, I think the guy deserves a vacation from all that writing! If you're curious about the Boston indie rock scene, dig in!
