The ImmigrantsBoston, MA - March 22nd, 2024 — Rock duo The Immigrants have re-released their baseball song "Jackie Boy- Requiem for a Slugger" to be played during the seventh inning stretch at Fenway Park. The song is an uplifting rock anthem, a must-have for any playlist, and a tribute to the band-leader, Bill Sheridan, who passed away on January 4, 2021 after a tough battle with cancer.

Brian Bernard, the DJ at The Hawkrocks.com 104.9 FM offered a double-shot tribute to Bill on his show, Backstage, by playing two songs by The Immigrants on the Radio.

“At the top of the show, we will play two tracks from The Immigrants, who very recently lost member Bill Sheridan."

"Bill and his brother Dan are longtime members and big supporters of our local music scene and Bill will be greatly missed,” commented Brian Bernard, on his show Backstage.

The two songs, Long Gone and Jackie Boy by The Immigrants, were played on the Radio, with a special dedication to Bill Sheridan in between. [Click here to listen to both songs on YouTube.]


Tribute to Bill on the RadioAngela

by The Immigrants

She stood there
Without a thought,
without a care.
I asked her, her name.
She said it softly, like a refrain
to a certain song I knew,
I forgot the words, I got confused.

Angela

She stood there
I turned my eyes as not to stare,
To steal a glance
On second thought, if given the chance to steal away
I don't know her, But I got her name

The ImmigrantsThe Immigrants — Summer, 1995

Amazingly unpretentious music from this Charlestown, MA 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.

Music Press: The Immigrants — "The next Morphine?"

The ImmigrantsThe Noise, Rock Around Boston

Boston, MA - October, 1993

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.

The RatBoston, MA - February 26th, 2024:

A trip to Boston - a trip down memory lane. Bill called me up, Dan, I got us a gig at The Rat!! This is where The Jam and The Police played. We met a girl named Caryn, a DJ. She told us to send our demo to Mikey Dee at WMFO. Subway Station on the Radio!! The Rat inspired the lyric line to Subway Station:

I’m just a rat in a habitrail
I’m just a rat can’t you see my tail
Subway Station, Destiny, Destination.

Live at The CausewayMusic 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

Jackie-BoyBoston, MA - July 1, 2022 — 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.

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, 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!

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!

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.

Martina_Radio-ReviewRadio Review by Martina Dörner on CBJRadio.com

 

Boston, MA - May 23, 2022: Martina Dörner from Germany provides a Radio-Review of The Immigrants on CBJRadio.com & Belter-Radio.com and plays Enterprise Ride, a song by The Immigrants.

Hi this is Martina from Germany and today I have a band for you whose story is as unusual as it is very touching… The Immigrants.

The band's sound is one of my favorite genres - a brilliant mixture of rock, pop, and a touch of punk - simply brilliant - entertaining and definitely addictive, but in a positive sense. Anyone who has heard the first song will definitely want more, I can promise that with a sound and lyrics that quickly grab you and won't let you go....

It doesn’t take many more words to understand that this story is something very special and now we will hear Enterprise Ride, a tribute to Bill and a wonderful song.
