Video comes ahead of debut record
Ahead of the release of their debut album in March, quartet One Man Boycott have unveiled the video for new single ‘Sick Of It All’. Featuring live footage from their headline set a Germany’s largest free entry festival, Wutzrock, alongside coverage of their ‘Break The Silence’ summer tour.
Vocalist Joe Brewer vocalist and brainchild of his solo-project-turned-full-band One Man Boycott comments on the lyrics of the single: “they are referring to mine and many others past experiences trying to get into the music industry growing up. People calling you shit or casual daily death threats and horrendous spiteful rumours, all due to the way you look or the music you play, like that’s normal…scary thing is how easy it is to listen to those kind of people, those haters”. He continues enthusiastically: “This song is me personally venting, the chance to mentally stand up and say “you know what? fuck you, I’m sick of it.” I sincerely hope that the people know where I’m coming from with these words connect and it helps them in any way to stand up and be proud.”
Completed by guitarist Lewis Chappell, drummer Frank Rawle and bassist Tom Hitchins,One Man Boycott pen the kind of energetic, instantly infectious pop rock nuggets that instantly instil a hankering for long sun-soaked days with good friends. With crisp production from Romesh Dodangoda (Kids In Glass Houses, Funeral For A Friend, Decade), Counting The Seconds is as accomplished as debut albums get, One Man Boycott confidently presiding over their arsenal of slick, effortless vocals (Brewer commands an impressive 4 octave range), punchy guitars and driving drums. Positively soaked in youthful exuberance, the forthcoming debut evokes pop rock’s halcyon days, where the stables of Drive Thru Records and Fuelled By Ramen saw gem after gem race out the gate with pop hearts unashamedly on sleeves, swinging songwriting savvy like a deadly weapon.
