There are quite a few talented and notable bands that have their roots in Boston, Massachusetts, which has a thriving music and arts scene. Some of the more famous Beantown bands include Aerosmith, Boston (the band), the Mighty Mighty Bostones, the Dropkick Murphys, American Hi-Fi, Butthole Surfers, and Godsmack.

Aerosmith is probably the best known Bostonian band. In fact, Aerosmith is sometimes referred to as “The Bad Boys from Boston.” The band played their very first gig together in Mendon, Massachusetts at Nipmuc Regional High School in 1970. Two of the bands members, Brad Whitford and Joey Kramer, attended the Berklee School of Music, located in downtown Boston.

The Dropkick Murphys, which was formed in Quincy, MA, is another famous Boston band that has a lot of pride in their city. The band is famous for its patronage to Boston sports teams like the Red Sox and the Bruins.
