We shared Seattle punk-rockers single ‘I’m a Regular’ a month or so back and now we’ve finally had the chance to listen to their new LP, also called ‘Regulars’ (out now via All in Vinyl in the UK). The DIY sound of ‘Freaks’ opens the album and works as a fine introduction to what Dead…

The mysterious new Alcopop! Records signings DBoy never speak publicly, instead letting their music do the talking. ‘Here to dominate the carnivorous world of rock and roll’, their new single ‘Dboy for President’ is a short, sharp and feedback-laden song that combines the ramshackle allure of early Cribs or Sonic Youth with the cheeky nous…
