There’s a whole world of buzz around Lucia & The Best Boys’ evening set on the BBC Introducing stage. Less than a month away from the release of debut album ‘Burning Castles’, today’s Reading set serves as the perfect showcase for everything that makes them essential.

Immediately setting the tone to the beat of their own drum, it’s an intoxicating mix of style, swagger and showmanship. ‘Perfectly Untrue’ is a snap-tight alt-pop smash, whilst ‘When You Dress Up’ and that anticipated debut album’s title track ooze an aura of their very own. The Lucia & The Best Boys show is here. Roll the tape, and get ready for the motion picture to come.
