Boston, Massachusetts Jul 25, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Massachusetts heavy metal band B.F. Raid (Boston's Final Raid) is proud to announce the ongoing radio support of their 2024 album Raided Again, with standout tracks “Becky” and “Hollywood With Snakes” remaining in regular rotation on New England Rock & Metal Radio (NRM Radio). The station’s continued endorsement underscores the lasting impact of the band’s most recent release and its connection with fans across the underground metal landscape.
NRM Radio stands out as a unique force in the independent music world, dedicated exclusively to unsigned and underground rock and metal acts from the New England region. With a mission to showcase the best of the local scene and introduce it to a global audience, NRM plays new music first while honoring bands that helped lay the foundation. It’s a rare station that gives full attention to regional artists who might otherwise go unheard in the mainstream, and for B.F. Raid, the relationship with NRM has been a meaningful one.
Guitarist Bruce Owens shared his thoughts on what the airplay means to the band:“We’ve always considered ourselves a New England band first, and hearing our songs still being spun on NRM—months after the album dropped—is incredibly validating. ‘Becky’ and ‘Hollywood With Snakes’ were never written as radio singles. They’re just raw, personal tracks that hit hard. So when a station like NRM gets behind them and keeps them in rotation, it tells us that what we’re doing is connecting with people in a real way. That’s all we’ve ever cared about.”
“Becky” brings sharp hooks and emotional bite, while “Hollywood With Snakes” explores darker, more expansive territory—both songs reflecting the growth of the band and their ability to move between direct aggression and more layered storytelling. The continued presence of these tracks on NRM’s playlist speaks to their resonance with listeners and the broader appeal of Raided Again as a whole.
As B.F. Raid prepares to return to the studio this November to record their next album, Combat Zone, the momentum from Raided Again continues to build. The upcoming release promises to dive deeper into heavier, more progressive ground, once again recorded at The Record Co. in Boston with longtime collaborator Jaime Rowe behind the console.
