Hi! We’re the Self-Proclaimed Rockstars, a local rock band from just outside of Boston, MA. Well…you might say we’re kinda the ‘anti-local band’ local band. We tried to be that ’super cool’ local band…but it wasn’t for us. We’re not the kinda guys that want to bullshit you by telling you that some ridiculous contest like “The Taco Bell Burrito Band of May 2010 Award!” is gonna be what breaks us; we’re not gonna pretend that a well-attended show at a local bar is tantamount to a Grammy award… No, we’re just gonna play you some really rockin’, catchy music and hopefully give you something fun to listen to, to dance to and to sing-along with.

Now, don’t get us wrong - we’re very proud of our music and we think we’ve got some great songs and we’re lucky enough that our guys have some pretty awesome talents. And, make no mistake - we’d love to make it and we’re trying to make it. But if making it as ‘real’ rockstars means acting like huge douchebags and not having fun….well…then we’d probably rather just stay Self-Proclaimed Rockstars forever.
