After dropping a new single this fall featuring the legendary J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Weakened Friends look to once again dominate the Boston Music Awards by racking up five total nominations; including (but definitely not limited to) Unsigned Artist of the Year. The indie powerhouse has been stomping around the country for most of the year, ripping off their gleaming rhythms and catchy pop-laden hooks for packed clubs and halls. We have no doubts they have plenty left in the tank for a performance at this year's BMAs, and it's personally one of our most anticipated events of the night. -- Andrew Maroney, Director of Operations, Studio 52
