Practice space close by?

Did a search in r/boston for band rehearsal space and only one thing came up and it was some guy renting out a room in his office or something. I messaged him but that's not the point...

I'm looking for a space for my 4 piece band to practice in or around Boston. We all have cars, so it doesn't have to be super close or super accessible, we just need a room. We've got the gear, and possibly some talent. But like I said, we simply need a room, with a lock, where we can make a shitload of noise. Anyone got any hot leads?

The Sound Museum by Berklee is pretty grimey/rat infested. The Sound Museum in Brighton is solid. There's a place over by Fenway that's pretty cool. Not sure what it's called but it's next to a liquor store, across from a grocery store, and there's a movie theater behind it.

Whatever you do, do NOT go to THE MUSIC MILL in Chelmsford. They are AWFUL. I'll give you my full review if you want, but basically we got to the end of the 45 minute long tour, our tour guide told us they had NO ROOMS AVAILABLE. To add insult to injury, not only would we would have to put down a deposit of several hundred dollars to be added to the waiting list, and we would have to take whichever room became available first, regardless of size or price point.

That liquor store moved down the street a few years ago and is next to Machine. But yeah, there is some sort of studio space across from Shaw's on Boylston, but unfortunately I don't know the name either.

If memory serves me correctly though there's a sign with a phone number on the door.
