Our new single ‘Things To Do When It’s Dark’ is TELL’s way of saying ‘Not in our town!’ It spins a fictional, but very plausible tale of Trump sending military to Lowell, MA, and how one terrified musician decides to deal with it. This is about refusing to live in fear. The refrain is that when it gets dark ‘WE’LL MAKE IT OURS!’ They can’t take away this special community that belongs to us all.

Gritty Boston alt-rock band TELL address the over-crowded internet landscape and the difficulty bands face in getting their music heard with ‘Boiling The Ocean’, a new single and official music video directed by Rick Berlin.

“This is my ‘fuck the internet’ song, expressing frustration how as creative artists we all have no choice but to use this same medium to get our music out,” says TELL guitarist and vocalist David Wildman. “In that sense it is kind of a ghetto that is impossible to escape. We’re all on our own trying to figure it out. And while there no longer are record companies exploiting us, there is also no way to make any money because streaming sites like Spotify have pretty much demonetized everything, and the labels that do exist push crap at the highest level. So yeah, we’re saying blow the whole thing up.”
