Elaine Almquist visits on Wednesday the public health vending machine where she got free, lifesaving Narcan inhalers like the ones she holds. (Photo: Marc Levy) Elaine Almquist heard screams as she entered the Davis Square T station. As she descended to the platform on the afternoon of March 2, she saw a woman sitting limply on a bench. Three riders and a T employee tried slapping her to wake her up. The woman had no pulse. Almquist asked the people with her if she had taken drugs.

The indie music festival returned last weekend, expanding into a two-day event in its second year. The lineup showcased eighteen New England bands, featuring a range of styles from indie folk, to alt-country, to free jazz, to loud noise rock that was loud enough that you could enjoy it from the street while waiting to get through the door.

Since starting the shoegaze duo in 2017, brothers Nick and Shane Sullivan have lived in New Jersey, Brooklyn, Boston, and Philadelphia. To keep it simple, they say it’s an “east coast” band.
