BOIDS “SUPERBAFRANGO”
AVAILABLE OCTOBER 16,2015 “MONTREAL PUNKERS “ BOIDS “BRING THAT OLD BACK TO THE TABLE WITH THIS ONE! BOIDS latest release Superbrafango is one of those albums that will grow in the back of your head leaving to you somewhere down the line to nod hastily with a cynical look of deranged madness smirking across your lips either enticing others to follow suit or quickly move bus seats. This would probably best describe the fantastic graphic artwork for the cover indicating what appears to be a beer hat but two loaded snub noses ready to go off just like their intro track “Human Time Bomb”. It has that old-school sound that is reminiscent of the earlier glory punk days, guaranteed to be the beer chugger at the live show. The BOIDS have toured with The Brains and sounds on this release have that familiar influence with that twangy slide work and straight chords. The song “Mole People” has the Trauma Horror theme of underground dwellers with the classic Riverdales and Ramone sound. Diving right back into your face things get start to get wet again with beer flying anthem like “Bless This Mess” a fast paced straight chorus, ‘here we go’. Then back to the Ben Weasel influence with the heart string puller Valois Love letter one of the clearer sounding paths of the album. Then into “Gogama” that song that gets you nodding along the way for another cold one that’s reminiscent again of earlier punk classics. The BOIDS have been long time fans of “NO MEANS NO” and that shines through on
“MUST BE SOME HIDDEN AGENDA OF DOOM IN THERE SOMEWHERE CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO IT”
