Boyracer - On A Promise - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2014 album from the Chicago-based Psychedelic Rock band. Verma intertwine elements of gothy Post-Punk, Krautrock, Eno-esque Ambience and Detroit-style burners into a heavy, groovy Psych sound.

On the 14 studio full length, Boyacer mainstay Stewart Anderson has hit a jackpot, with 14 concise genre defining crashpop gems. Building on the critical acclaim of 2020s fan favourite, InchOn A PromiseInch, Anderson is again aided and abetted by the simpatico talents of Christina Riley, (Artsick) and the melodic talent of Sarah Records / Slumberland era member Matty Green (Tall Boy / Declining Winter). Stewarts vocals are vitriolic and pointed, meshing perfectly with Christina's. Ms. Riley, handles the lead guitar for most of the album, ensuring a new direction on a well loved path. Mattys presence assures the pop element shines through the trademark squalling feedback bursts. Reflective and urgent, InchAssuagedInch offers many highlights. The instant rush of InchTommy McNeilInch is a paen to the delightful confusions of a first crush. Inch40 HoursInch is the autobiographical recollections of Stewarts disdain at working at Inchnational health food chainInch during Covid. InchSpoilsInch champions art over fiscal rewards. Whilst InchDigital FriendsInch questions how many Facebook friends we really need. At 36 minutes long, InchAssuagedInch contains all the classic and loved elements of Boyracer, distilled into a rush of euphoric Indie Punk songwriting mastery.

Vinyl LP pressing. Since their 1st vinyl , in 1992, Boyracer have forged their own fierce independent path through the international underground indie-punk scene. With well over 1000 commercially released songs, Seaside Riot expands on their much loved frenetic formula with a newfound sheen and precision. The new recording feature a unique Boyracer line up with the only permanent member in their 30 plus year career Stewart Anderson, joined by Riley (Artsick), Mario (Kids on a Crime Spree), Chuck (Bright Lights), and original Boyracer Sarah Records era guitarist Simon, who returns to the band after a 29 year abscence! Recorded in Seaside California, and Seaside Oregon (hence the album title), but also drawing inspiration from the spirit of mayday madness of Mods and Rockers on Brighton Beach in the early 60s, Seaside Riot is indeed a riotous affair of sharp incisive top drawer indie-punk-pop.
