As young musicians, we all had our favorite band, artist or musician that we were inspired and influenced by. Mine happened to be a talented and popular local rock band that my older brother Jim managed. As a young kid at 12 years old, I was introduced to the music and the individuals of a band that were based right out of my home town of North Andover, Massachusetts which soon later became known as ROXX. This website is dedicated to my "local hero’s" who were best known as ROXX, The CORE, NEW ROMANCE and CUT 299. Their different musical directions and musicianship still inspires me to this day as a musician / songwriter. Many great tunes were written and recorded by this group of musicians with a number of songs being aired on local radio. As I surf and research the internet, I frequently come across websites such as myspace, which celebrate the past and present of the Boston Music Scene and the great bands that made up the scene. As the members of this act have all moved on with successful professional careers, I would like to dedicate this web presence for them.
