The Maybes? – Boys (Xtra Mile Recordings)
June 25, 2008
This quintet of lads from Liverpool have once again created a successful, toe-tapping tune that will definitely get you dancing along!
A follow up to their last single ‘Think About You’, ‘Boys’ maintains that classic pop sound and is superbly aggressive yet beautifully melodic; you will be humming it all day long. The repetition of “Boys will be boys and we’re lost in the city tonight, alright” is very powerful as people can certainly relate to it. At times, the “Big City” can seem like quite a daunting place and you just have to get over that lost feeling. The Maybes? will of course inspire you to do so.
The lyrics aren’t entirely original but The Maybes? give a fresh feel to them, and this is what makes the song good. Bouncy, bubbly and very, very British - what more can you ask for?
Music from the 80’s is becoming increasingly popular with a younger generation and this band have tapped into that. Fans of The Jam or Oasis will love this song, and maybe even love this band.
Their first studio album ‘Promise’ will be released later this year so keep an eye out for it..
