Ska/Reggae/Rock band Hobo Chili originated in Framingham in 2012, but recently moved to Boston. They recently celebrated the release of their new EP at Davis Square Theatre in Somerville. The next day, July 27th, they made the record available for free!

It kicks off with an epic instrumental, “Untitled,” that seems to tell a story with the path it takes. “All Through the Night” is a more laid back jam with a hook that keeps your rockin’ back and forth. “Slow Down” kicks off with a groove-oriented intro before it gives you the dance beat; the guitar solo is a real highlight on that track. The record rounds out with the almost haunting “Circus Vamp.”

These songs can all be downloaded for free from their website, bandcamp, or soundcloud.
