Album Description

The Ordinary Boys release their second album, Brassbound, the eagerly awaited follow-up to their gold selling and critically acclaimed debut album Over The Counter Culture. Following on from their ska infused first single 'Boys Will Be Boys' the album's diversity continues to reflect their love of pop music in it's widest sense from the Lovers Rock-inspired 'Don't Live Too Fast' through the Jackson 5 disco of 'On An Island' to the classic pop tune of 'One Step Forward (Two Steps Back)'. Following the cover of 'Little Bitch' on their debut, the band this time opted for a shared favorite to cover: Locomotive's little known 1968 single, 'Rudi's In Love'. WEA. 2005.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Softer than expected, but still great.......2006-05-12

The lead singer's definitely looking 'heavier' than he sounds. When I saw his fotograph and read his interview in that magazine I thought he'd make music like the Arctic Monkeys do. But the Ordinary Boys don't, instead they've made what I'd like to call a perfect summer record.
Their music is cheerful and jolly and so British and although sounds of bombastic trumpets may be heard on the record, it fits perfectly in your collection if you're a fan of Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs or the Kooks.
