For the moment

Indie dance rock band The Blue Pages released their debut album Bear Fight Jan. 20 with the small record label Walking City Records. The four-piece group from Berklee College of Music tours the Northeast frequently. A reporter met up with the group in Allston, where they dished about the 10 things they think are cool.

1. Ghosts
In New Jersey, the band went on a ghost hunt on a haunted road where people have reportedly spotted the ghost of a girl who was killed there. Guitarist James Adam Shelley said they drove up and down the road several times with no luck seeing ghosts.

2. Rock climbing
Bassist Dave Rublin said the band eats poorly when on the road, so they look for places to get exercise.

3. Hiking
This is another one of the band’s favorite ways to get exercise on the road.

4. Clydesdale horses
Adam Shelley said he grew up on a farm with Clydesdales, a rare breed of horse. They inspired the name for a rap project Barnett is working on with Rublin, they call themselves ‘Klydesdale.’

5. Timex watches

Barnett recently had a big heart for his mom inked on his bicep.

8. Free health care
Adam Shelley said he just signed up. The whole band said they agree free health care is great.

10. Credit cards
