True Brits? With a dual citizenship lead singer The Ordinary Boys are hardly the flag waving patriots to restore the Great into Britain. What they are is one of the most exciting bands to emerge in the last five years or more in the UK. What they are is the voice of a suburban, subsumed generation, not as hooked on Nike and Starbucks as the media would have it and kicking against the corporates and the liberal media in equal part. This is NOT year zero, this is another week in another life anywhere in Britain.
Born out of the retirement come dog walking centre of Southern England that is East Preston, The Ordinary Boys matured from early hardcore experiments to the fully formed rock ‘n’ roll band. Sick of the downplayed, downtrodden music around them, the four were determined to reintroduce tunes to a moribund guitar scene. In the process they have written what will be come to be regarded as a classic debut album Over the Counter Culture steeped in the fall of status and rise of consumerism that is Britain in the 21st Century: this is now the modern world.
The Ordinary Boys are a band that are not interested in the easy way; they are going to change the world. Join them.
