A Special Tribute to Bill Sheridan — Singer/Songwriter

Boston, MA - September 11, 2020 — Rock duo The Immigrants have released two powerful new songs as a tribute to both the band-leader and their frontline nurse sister. "Jackie Boy" is an uplifting rock anthem that is a must-have for any playlist.

“Jackie Boy - Requiem for a Slugger” is a tribute to the cancer battle the band-leader, Bill Sheridan, is currently undergoing. The song reaches out and offers love and support to the painful journey ahead.

Their other song, Long Gone, a rock-ballad, is a dedication to their sister Delia, a nurse working on the frontlines during the pandemic. The music and lyrics are a testimonial to the endless courage of these two individuals and people around the globe.

Brian Bernard, the DJ at The Hawk Rocks 104.9 FM, recently played both songs on his local rock band show, Backstage, as he offered a special dedication to Bill Sheridan, the singer/songwriter in The Immigrants. [Click here to listen to the song on YouTube.]

Music Review: Jackie Boy — "This is a polished single!"

Jackie Boy takes me back to Alternative Rock Anthems like
The Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" and Weezer's "Buddy Holly"

Boston, MA - July 1, 2020 — I'd just like to begin by expressing how much I love the name of this band, The Immigrants, as well as the name of this song, Jackie Boy - Requiem for a Slugger. It's got a great vocal performance that is equal to Black Francis of The Pixies or Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth.

The instrumental performances of the drums and guitar takes me back to beloved 90s grunge alternative rock anthems like The Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" and Weezer's "Buddy Holly" with the melodic guitars, and roughness, yet a song that makes you want to dance -- like Jackie Boy. This is a polished single!

What a treat to come across this rock song, Jackie Boy. The Immigrants blend a cool melodic, surf-rock guitar, a superb vocal performance reminiscent of Black Francis (from The Pixies) with the sound of a baseball game and a cheering crowd, rooting for our underdog, Jackie Boy. This is classic alternative rock at its best!

Jackie Boy will be deeply appreciated by audiences who love alt. rock, grunge, shoegazing, and noise pop. For audiences who love live performances, or anyone seeking REAL and raw music these days, given the pop, synth and auto-tune world we are living in, be sure to check out The Immigrants. - Ama Cruz

The Immigrants — "The next Morphine?"

The Noise, Rock Around Boston

The Immigrants

These newcomers sport an intriguing sound with an incantatory edge not too far short of compelling. Their melodic instincts are quite keen and the vocalist's phrasing is original and chuck full of irresistible hooks. The next Morphine? Watch this space. Pick hit: "Subway Station." Tape of the month.

The Immigrants...

"How cool underground music really can be."

Baby Sue Music Review,

The Immigrants

Amazingly unpretentious music from this duo. If you're looking for busy arrangements and mountains of studio tricks, you can skip to the next review. But if you like smart pop delivered in a straight forward fashion with no frills or gimmicks, you'll want to check out the Immigrants. My favorite tunes here are "Jackie Boy," "Changemaker," and "Shot to Pieces." This here thing goes to show how cool underground music really can be.

Pit Report

The Immigrants

The Immigrants check in with "four tunes" (clever title) that recall the early workings of The Smiths and The Cure, yet have a gritty element straight out of the early Volcano Suns (The Bright Orange Years and All Night Lotus especially). Lyrics possess a certain weirdness which is not immediately likable, yet is better than the usual pop slop that often ends up here. "Murray & Sadie" is a tale of travel companions, "Enterprise Ride" and "Subway Station" add depth and dimension due to their dissimilarity. The Immigrants are young but unusual. Please keep us up to date.
