Boyracer - Bored and Lonely



  Some days you just want to introduce a short blast of top notch spikey indie pop into the lives of your blog's visitors. Today is such a day.

  Hopefully you're all familiar with Boyracer, they've been around for almost 30 years turning out timeless alt classics on cool labels such as Slumberland, Sarah and Emotional Response. Their back catalogue is a treasure trove of fuzzy goodness (a good example being the track that featured on here back in 2014 https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2014/09/boyracer-he-gets-me-so-hard.html) and happily they're still producing the goods as today's song will illustrate.

  Their latest ep came out last month, it's a 3 track ep on Emotional Response and as there were only 100 copies of the limited edition clear vinyl pressed you better get a shift on if you want one (3 copies remain as I write this). You can also get it digitally : https://emotional-response-recs.bandcamp.com/album/bored-and-lonely

  The line up on this release is original member Stuart Anderson on vocals etc ably backed up by new recruit Christina Riley (from Artsick and Burnt Palms on lead guitar & vocals). It's a starter course for a new album that'll be titled Even Though We’re Not Okay, We’re Going To Be Alright and it bodes well.

  This is the title track of the ep, it's telling us that even though we maybe feeling fed up, isolated and stuck in a rut there's many others out there just like us. Maybe we should reach out. It's called Bored And Lonely...
