The band was formed in 1978 in suburban Boston by 17-year old guitarist David Minehan, 19-year old bassist Jim Bowman and 16-year old drummer Mike Quaglia, nicknamed “Careful” for the way he maintained a metronomically precise beat. Minehan, the group’s chief songwriter, had played in a cover band – “very glam-rock oriented, Bowie and Bolan,” he’s ...
Before winning the Rumble in July 1979, the Hoods had made something of a name for themselves by playing at colleges and universities throughout New England and at popular venues like The Space and the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. But their Rumble victory sent their popularity to new heights and in 1980 the band signed with Boston-based Ace of Hea...
In 1982, after splitting up from mid-1980 through1981, the Hoods reformed with bassist Lee Harrington replacing Bowman and spent the next two years gigging at area venues like The Channelwhile watching contemporaries like Nervous Eaters, Jon Butcher Axis and The Atlantics land major record deals. In 1984, however, the tide turned after Mustang Reco...
From 1987 to 1990, the Hoods lived the dream of practically every punk/rock group on the planet, playing over 200 shows a year. In September 1987, they opened for David Bowie in front of over 60,000 fans at Sullivan Stadium in Foxborough, then crisscrossed the US opening for The Ramones in 1988 while playing across New England at venues like Bunrat...
In 1991, when the Hoods debuted at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston with Tin Machine, the band signed to the Atlantic-distributed label Third Stone and recorded a self-titled fourth LP. It was also produced by Whitford but with a new lineup featuring Carl Coletti on drums, replacing Quaglia, and a second guitarist, Dan Batel. The Hoods spent the next ...
On October 24, 1992, the Hoods played at the Rat in what was billed as their final show, and in 2010 Ram Van Records released the performance on a two-CD set, The Last Rat: Live at the Rat ’92, which includes 24 originals (five previously unreleased) and five covers. The lineup is varied, with Minehan and Harrington being constant presences while d...
During the 2000s, the Hoods have reformed occasionally to record and play gigs with the lineup of Minehan, Harrington and former Watts’ drummer John Lynch. In 2005, the band was inducted into the Boston Music Awards Hall of Fame; in 2006 they played at the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas, and the Locobazooka festival at the Tweeter Center (now the X...
When asked in 2018 about the current music scene, Minehan highlighted the importance of mixing genres and audiences. “The trouble today is it seems that everyone goes to their particular musical church denominations and houses of worship, and not much cross-pollination of bands and fans in clubs is happening,” he said. “I think we’re due for anothe...
Led by singer and guitarist David Minehan, the Neighborhoods were a Boston-based rock band whose sound and approach found them residing in several camps at once, fusing the tuneful approach of a power pop group, the rebellious attitude of a punk band, and the big sound and swagger of a traditional hard rock act.
A punk-fueled garage-rock sound with big hooks, melodies, and snarling six-strings, The Neighborhoods are pretty much where it all starts in Boston Rock. The Hoods are David Minehan, Lee Harrington and Johnny Lynch.

I Neighborhoods di David Minehan furono fra i primi esponenti del powerpop di Boston. Come tutti coloro che suonavano quel genere lontano da Los Angeles, dovettero sopravvivere ignorati dalla critica.
