Mean Creek has been a fixture in Boston music for almost ten years. We’ve had the honor of sharing stages and laughs with those four, and have come to know them as truly passionate artists.

Read their departure announcement in Vanyaland, and join us in lamenting (and trying to change?) an industry that makes it really difficult for artists to just focus on the substance. Cheers to a fantastic band who always stayed true – “We are not a brand. We are a band” – and whose music will surely stay with us.

(Also, the song on Vanyaland kicks a tremendous amount of ass).
