Boston mod pop trio The Chelsea Curve lean into connection and shared experience on “Rally ’Round,” a shimmering single that blends ’60s folk pop warmth with jangle pop glide and melodic indie lift. Out now as part of The Sound Cove’s Super Sonic Showcase Vol. 1 sampler, the song carries a gentle sense of togetherness, pairing bright harmonies with lyrics rooted in community, coexistence, and mutual care. Written by bassist and vocalist Linda Pardee, the track moves patiently and confidently, offering a sound that feels open armed and clear eyed, with melodies that linger and a chorus that invites voices to rise together.
Produced by the band and recorded at Mad Oak Studios in Allston, then mixed at Bluetone Studio in Somerville by Mike Quinn and mastered by Dave Locke at JP Masters, “Rally ’Round” reflects the scene that surrounds it as much as the song itself. Guitarist and vocalist Tim Gillis and drummer Bruce Caporal bring restraint and texture, letting the arrangement breathe and glow rather than rush. The release aligns naturally with The Chelsea Curve’s long-standing ties to the mod and indie communities on both sides of the Atlantic, from shared stages to shared values, and it lands as a confident, generous moment in their growing catalog, one that feels designed for rooms where people gather, listen closely, and stand together.
