Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s Premiere New Song And Animated Video
April 8th, 2014 Tyler Hanan With a new album only two weeks away, Margot & The Nuclear So And So’s have debuted a new song and video.

Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s Announce New Album, ‘Sling Shot To Heaven’
September 30th, 2013 Brian Leak My love for Margot & the Nuclear So and So’s runs quite deep.

Songs For The Season: Winter Playlist
January 10th, 2014 Drew Caruso The winter season, at times, seems to consist of a love hate relationship. Being from Boston, I know many fellow Bostonians who rue away the long, tired, and cold, New England season, dreaming of palm trees and open shores.
