Leaving Irene with Better Fires
LEAVING IRENE is a Boston-based rock band blending raw storytelling with nostalgic rock melodies, drawing from influences like Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, and U2. Formed by cousins Rocco and Jake DeRosa, the band creates music that mirrors the emotional connection with their audience, combining Rocco’s expressive vocals with Jake’s intricate guitar work. Their debut EP, Basement Springs, was shaped by industry veterans Brian Scheuble (Stevie Nicks, Dave Matthews) and Dave Collins (Bruce Springsteen, Third Eye Blind), bringing a polished yet raw sound. Featuring standout tracks like “My Old Radio” and “Winter,” Leaving Irene’s live shows are an unforgettable experience for fans of both classic rock and indie pop.
BETTER FIRES is a rock and roll band from Boston MA that fuses pop songs with big guitars and even bigger melodies. The band was started by long-time friends Zach Comtois and Mark Fortier, who released their debut album ‘Almost Mine’ on December 15th, 2023. Their songs have been featured on 92.5 The River and 95.9 WATD, and they recently opened for Motion City Soundtrack at their sold out show at The Paradise in Boston. Their sound has been described as Jimmy Eat World meets Tears for Fears.
