The Ordinary Boys - Live On Music: Response
With the speedily delivered second album 'Brass Band' on its way, nu-ska mod chaps The Ordinary Boys hit Music: Response to play live and reveal all about their Monkees-esque lifestyle.
It's not quite a year since The Ordinary Boys gave us the first taste of their Geezer Mod stylings in the form of debut album, the criminally underrated 'Over The Counter Culture', targeting saccharine pop music, cultish fashionistas and malfunctioning computer hardware with varying degrees of venom.
Incredibly, in a world where Coldplay can take about a gazillion years to produce their third collection of identikit ballads so bland they make a bowl of muesli being poured onto a beige Ikea sofa sound like the Velvet Underground, The ordinary Boys are already back in the ring with their second outing 'Brass Band', due out on June 20.
On Music: Response the 'Boys told Ian Camfield about the secret of their productivity, their casual approach to songwriting and how they all live together in a big house just like The Monkees [listen] .
