Music Scene
Due to the neighborhood's largely young, student population, Allston has always been the city's countercultural headquarters for the arts. One of the last neighborhoods to experience business gentrification, Allston is home to many locally owned music venues including Wonder Bar, Great Scott and O'Brien's Pub. Several recording studios are located in the neighborhood, such as Galaxy Park, established in 1999.
Allston's music scene is incomplete without mentioning the DIY community. The annual Allston-Brighton parade and annual Allston DIY Fest feature many of the neighborhood's musical acts.

“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
