The Pricey Boys: Put It Down
(Self Launched)
DL/Streaming/ CD
Out Now
The Pricey Boys return with their fourth single, Put It Down, one thing slightly extra groove based mostly than their earlier releases…
It’s been simply over 12 months because the band launched their double header of Gone Viral/Scan Me and so they’ve chilled out slightly, earlier Pricey Boys singles have consciously embraced new wave/punk vibes whereas Put It Down attracts from a variety of danceable grooves, or as frontman Tony Fletcher explains, “funk, reggae, dub and, with the traditional Hammond B3/Leslie combo, even some northern soul.” Understanding his affinity with Woking’s best, I’d recommend they’re now coming into their ’Type Council’ part.
Put It Down is obtainable now as 7” and 12” mixes, a throwback to vinyl days of outdated. The tracks are additionally obtainable on CD by means of The Pricey Boys Bandcamp, joined by three Lovers/Dub remixes courtesy of Chris Coco, and the unique instrumental demo of Put It Down, entitled The New Reverend Jam.
With music from Fletcher and phrases from Tony Web page, Put It Down is at its coronary heart very a lot a pop track. “Its message is as simple as it’s constructive, you don’t really want the net so extensive, when life is so fantastic on the skin.” Accordingly, the group put down their telephones momentarily and spent a sunny summer time’s day on the South Financial institution in London filming their first group video, directed by Jeni de Haart.
For these unfamiliar, The Pricey Boys got here collectively out of the enduring friendship between the 2 Tonys, former members of the band Apocalypse who, after forming in 1982 had been invited to open for The Jam on their farewell tour. Fletcher was already identified on the time for being the founding father of the legendary, influential publication Jamming! As life handed by within the Blink of an I (to paraphrase the second Pricey Boys single), Web page reached out to Fletcher about lastly recording an outdated track that had been kicking round some time (Sure Males) and the pair loved the method a lot that they determined to make a “factor” of it.
Final yr the duo added drummer/percussionist Brett “Buddy” Ascott, previously of The Chords, in time for the aforementioned double ‘A’ aspect and the bonus election launch (They Say) Don’t Waste Your Vote, all of which obtained appreciable area of interest airplay.
Though it’s been a look ahead to Put It Down, I imagine the band have 5 extra songs accomplished, and an album is lastly on the horizon! Sadly dwell reveals are at the moment a difficult proposition, given the transatlantic standing of its members, so for now we’ll have to just accept that the group can report internationally and launch their music globally.
Now put that telephone down and get some recent air.
