The Ordinary Boys have returned with ‘Peer Pressure’ after more than a decade away
The Worthing indie group end their lengthy hiatus via Scruff Of The Neck.
After spending more than a decade away from music, The Ordinary Boys have dropped 'Peer Pressure'.
The Worthing outfit's latest track arrives via Scruff Of The Neck. Speaking about the song, frontman Samuel Preston explained: "Peer Pressure is a song about the stories we tell ourselves to rationalise our excesses, and how we ignore the real problems of life in a post AI world with its billionaires and manosphere.
"For our first song back we wanted to make something that sounded like an amalgamation of all the music we love and all The Ordinary Boys songs that we released in the 2000s. We wrote peer pressure as a song that we wanted to hear the crowd singing back to us."
Earlier this year, the band played a pair of sold-out intimate gigs at London Strongroom and The Venue in Worthing. A run of festival and support slots is still to come, including dates alongside Madness and appearances at Victorious Festival and Together Again Festival.
Preston added: "It's so fun to be back playing again and releasing songs."
