Boston Invades Corporate America

In the late 70s, Boston was one of the top arena-rock bands. Created in the 12-track basement studio of Tom Schloz, Boston signed their first contract in 1976 with Epic. Their debut album shot straight to the top of the charts with three hit singles, “More Than a Feeling,” “Long Time,” and “Peace of Mind.”

Boston took the next two years to create their next number one album, Don’t Look Back. The album went platinum by August of 1978 and soon went multi-platinum. The 1980s weren’t so kind to Boston; the next album would take eight years to produce. Scholz was also involved in a several year court battle with former band mate Barry Goudreau. By 1994, Scholz would be the only original band member in Boston.

In the summer 2002, Boston released a single available only through the Internet. The newly released single generated a 70s-style buzz and Corporate America was released in the fall. The band’s latest tour kicked off in June to promote their new album which includes a stop in Austin.
