Joe Harvard
"Twice a Day"
Released in 2008
Joe Harvard was the stage name for singer-songwriter Joe Incagnoli from Massachusetts (who did actually go to Harvard). I got to know Joe when he worked sound at The Saint in Asbury Park. This track is one of my favorites from his record, "Country Eastern"
Long before he moved to New Jersey, he was the founder of Apache Studios - a place bands like The Pixies, The Lemonheads, Buffalo Tom, Dinosaur Jr., and Morphine recorded at.
Joe died in 2019 at the age of 60 due to cancer.

Makin Waves Song of the Week: "Gibraltar" by Defecting Grey
Each year-end coverage of Makin Waves features "The Dirty Jersey Dozen," a list of the 12 indie Jersey music acts that made the most waves. Two bands that likely would be on the all-time Dirty Jersey list are Gigantic, a Jersey Shore trio inspired by the primal pop of The Pixies and Nirvana, and Alternative Tentacles recording act Buzzkill, also a trio from the days when New Brunswick was the state's best music scene.
