This Many Boyfriends
"They sound like 5 people high on several bowls of sugary cereal, bouncing down a stair case on a number of bright orange spacehoppers'- Steve Lamacq, BBC 6 Music.
This week we were incredibly excited to hear that This Many Boyfriends are back making noise on the music scene. Having suffered the loss of guitarist Peter Sykes to a brain haemorrage only five days after a terrific set here at Jamm back in late September, they have announced this week that they are back touring to promote their latest EP "Getting A Life With This Many Boyfriends"
The now four piece from the North were signed to Angular Records in August 2011 and have since released the melty surfy pop single " Young Lovers Go Pop". Named after the Beat Happening song This Many Boyfriends, they are influenced widely by PJ Harvey, The Slits, Spearmint, John Richman, Otis Redding and Joy Division, but have earned deserved comparisons of late to indie pop royalty like The Cribs, Orange Juice, Hefner and The Smiths.
They are generating alot of attention earning support slots from a host of trendy independent bands like Allo Darlin and Tender Trap. We agree with Steve Lamacq- they protrude infectious happiness on par with the likes of The Drums. If they weren't from London you could be mistaken that they were brought up on a diet of California waves and raspberry ripple.
I hope you enjoy them. You will find their fab and friendly music here:- http://www.thismanyboyfriends.com/
