On December 19, Brooklyn-based softcore/alternative rock band Boston Flowers release their highly anticipated EP, Afterlife, featuring the title track alongside previously released singles “Soul Creature,” “Fever Dream,” and “Cancer Man.”
This introspective collection invites listeners to delve into profound themes of life, death, and the mysteries that lie beyond, making it a compelling addition to the band’s discography. The music video for “Cancer Man,” directed by James Morano, is already available for fans, alongside a lyric video for “Fever Dream,” showcasing artwork by Ellis Gale.
Boston Flowers emerged from the vibrant Brooklyn rock scene, establishing a signature sound with their debut album, Mondegreen, released in 2023. The band draws inspiration from a diverse range of influences, including The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Turnover, Kid Bloom, and Mk.gee, blending melodic alternative rock with softcore grit. Their name pays homage to the iconic film character Austin Powers, infusing their identity with a touch of groovy nostalgia.
The band Boston Flowers consists of a talented lineup, each member contributing to their unique sound. Sam Trestman, the vocalist and rhythm guitarist, brings a decade of experience in healthcare and insights from a personal near-death experience that deeply inform the themes explored in their Afterlife EP. Zaid Khan adds atmospheric layers with his synth work, enhancing the band’s melodic richness. The driving force behind their rhythm is Rio Kelemen on drums, delivering dynamic beats that propel their music forward. Alejandro Ortiz, the lead guitarist, provides intricate guitar work that adds depth and texture to their tracks. Finally, Michael Agazzi on bass guitar anchors the band’s sound with solid bass lines, creating a strong foundation for their music.
As Boston Flowers prepares to release Afterlife, they look forward to expanding their reach and continuing to engage with fans through live performances across the tri-state area. Their local NYC show lineup has included popular venues such as Arlene’s Grocery, The Delancey, Berlin Under A, and Bar Freda, as well as their own rooftop shows in Brooklyn.
With the release of Afterlife, Boston Flowers invites you to join them on a journey through the complexities of human experience, celebrating the cycles of change and the exploration of what lies beyond. Pre-save the title track on Spotify and stay tuned for the official release on December 19!
