Words: Saam Das We like a bit of Talking Heads . So do Leeds indie-poppers This Many Boyfriends . They've put together a cover of the iconic single 'This Must Be The Place', and made it free for download. What a lovely bunch. Listen and download their cover below. The band delivered an impressively raucous performance at the XFM X-Posure All Dayer at the Barfly in London, but this cover is much [...]
Nome: This Many Boyfriends Onde: Leeds, Inglaterra Gênero: Indie pop Pra quem curte: The Smiths , Buzzcocks e The Wedding Present . Não se levar a sério. Aí está o maior dos méritos do This Many Boyfriends . Formado por Richard (vocal), Tom (baixo), Laura (bateria), Dan (guitarra) e Ben (guitarra), o quinteto faz um indie pop sem pretensões maiores que flerta com gêneros dos anos 80 aos 00 sem ser anacrônico em seu homônimo disco de estreia, que teve algumas faixas produzidas por Ryan Jarman [...]
XFM X-Posure All Dayer live at Camden Barfly, 27 Jan '12 // Words + Photos: Saam Das XFM DJ John Kennedy is someone I've listened to for almost a decade. I used to tune in to his late night shows on a regular basis and always enjoyed hearing amazing new bands that he'd uncover. John's also been putting on the XFM X-Posure All Dayer for many years. 2013's installment involved the likes of Wolf Alice and Temples . [...]

Welcome to the second of my Singles of the Week column for The 405. It will take me a few to get into my stride and figure it all out, but for now you will get my thoughts on some singles that I like and some that I don't like so much! Maybe once I get a bit more used to the writing I can stretch my lexical muscles a bit and not just say 'great' all the time. If you'd like your single reviewed on a future edition of 'Singles of the Week', or have any [...]

Words: Alison Potter, Emily Solan, Howard Gorman, Rajan Lakhani, Raman K, Saam Das, and Simon Opie 2012. The year that guitar music died. The year that hip hop died. The year that dubstep died.

Pop, R&B, hip hop and yes, even guitar music [...]

Here's the list of my favorite albums outside of Seattle for 2012. You may think it's late, but you should know I got it done before the Russian New Year. Kevin Shields, you still have a few more days. 1. Exlovers - exlovers ( Young And Lost Club ) Exlovers had my favorite single of 2011 and now my favorite record of 2012. Their debut album is a dreampop masterpiece that was a long time coming from this London band. [...]

"... being in love ." - The opening line on This Many Boyfriends’ debut album. I have been meaning to post something about This Many Boyfriends , especially because I haven't shared many indiepop things lately. This band capture the essence of what I still love about indiepop, both in the lyrics and the music. Their self-titled debut record came out about a month ago (on Angular Recordings , so here are a few to listen to: A great review can be found at [...]
You kind of knew when you heard This Many Boyfriends ' song I Don't Like You (Cos You Don't Like the Pastels) that they were a band with a geeky sense of humor, an ear for a good slogan and had spent a good amount of time in record stores digging for lost classics. Having spent time getting to know the classics has given the band an indelible songwriting ability to emulate them without repeating them. Their debut album that came out earlier this month on Angular over in the UK is a [...]

This Many Boyfriends - This Many Boyfriends By Kenny McMurtrie Having never been that much of a fan of The Pastels (despite Stephen Pastel running a tight ship in the music department at the sorely missed Hillhead branch of John Smith’s bookstores), there was a good chance myself and This Many Boyfriends wouldn’t get on in person seeing as track six on this enjoyably energetic debut album of theirs is called ‘I Don’t Like You (Cos You Don’t Like The Pastels)’. Best to get these things out in [...]
Ah, glorious pop music at its finest. That's precisely what you'll get when you listen to this brand new single from Leeds' group This Many Boyfriends . They're crafting this wonderful pop music right now, and there self-titled debut is coming out in stores, at least overseas, this week via Angular Recording Corporation . I can't exactly put my finger on their sound; it's familiar, but the vocals oddly remind me of Jeremy Jay fronting a jangling indie-pop act. Those aren't bad things in my book, which is why I've [...]
Te gek bandje uit Leeds: This Many Boyfriends. Veel rammelende gitaren en grappige teksten, dat horen we graag. In Engeland wordt refrentiemateriaal gedropt in de vorm van The Smiths (toe maar), The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart (plausibel) en The Wedding Present (prima). Sinds vorige week ligt in het thuisland een titelloos debuutplaat in [...] The post Nieuwe vriendjes appeared first on Apply Some Pressure .
This Many Boyfriends - 'This Many Boyfriends' (UK Release: 8 Oct '12) // Words: Emily Solan Some bands try hard. They worry about the image, their influences, the chart and all that guff. Rather stupidly though, these bands forget all about the music. This Many Boyfriends are no such band. Their self-titled debut is an album packed full of perfect pop songs, and quite possibly the best new release this year. No tricks here, [...]
