The Immigrants — "The next Morphine?"
The Noise, Rock Around Boston
~ Boston, Massachusetts ~
Oct. 1993
The Immigrants
These Charlestown-based 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.

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"
by Ama Cruz
Boston, MA - February 2, 2025 — 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.
Jackie Boy is an uplifting rock anthem, a must-have for any playlist, and a tribute to the band-leader, Bill Sheridan. 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!
With the sound of a baseball game and a cheering crowd, rooting for our underdog, Jackie Boy, The Immigrants blend a cool melodic, surf-rock guitar, a superb vocal performance, reminiscent of Black Francis of The Pixies, or Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth. 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.

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.
