My brother’s friends who came to constitute a local music community in their own right, all go to college now and are crammed into Boston dorms, sneaking beers in bookbags past suspicious security guards. ![]() My friends who were involved in the local music scene all grew up and moved out, graduated and got real jobs or at least managed to move out of their parent’s houses.

The label never caught on, though I did release one compilation CD and a compilation cassette (which my girlfriend, Erica, and I recorded on borrowed boomboxes in real-time). Initially it was conceptualized as a label to put out releases from friends’ bands and to promote shows in the area, most of which happened at Andrew Hall, a church space in Lunenburg, MA, 5 minutes down the road from my parent’s house. I started Mass Recovery in 2005 when I was 17 years old.
