Few bands that formed in '93 have a lead singer born in '81. In the case of B Side's Chris Clark, adolescent adulation of groups like Nirvana and the Pixies extended a decade beyond the battle-of-the-band years, and that's given those grunge roots new inflection. B Side's tuneless power chords and mumbly lyrics are all Cobain, but its sonic gloom is Youth-meets-'00s lo-fi.
B-SIDE may be one of the longest running bands in Western Mass history, but it's also the most unknown...B-SIDE began in 1993 in Westfield MA when 12 year old Chris Clark(frontman, songwriter) melded the stylings of bands like Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Sebadoh and Pixies into a tight and unique rock sound. B-SIDE as a live band has been known to put on climactic punk shows with an "in-your-face" attitude and has survived many line-up changes over the years. During their tenure they also made experimental studio albums, culminating with 2004's "LOVE HEROIN" and 2005's "LOVE REHAB".
B-SIDE has now relocated to Boston.
