The Ordinary Boys announce return with eponymous studio album, UK tour


ob




The original Ordinary Boys line-up has reunited and will release a new, eponymous album on October 2nd.

While the 2004 debut ‘Over The Counter Culture‘ found success during a bumper period for British guitar bands, fortunes quickly nosedived once their frontman Samuel Preston headed for the Celebrity Big Brother house, the covers of various dentist-waiting-room celebrity magazines, and a brief stay on Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Since 2006’s ‘How To Get Everything You Ever Wanted In Ten Easy Steps‘, Preston has spent time writing for pop acts such as John Newman and Olly Murs, but believes a return to his roots has resulted in a strong collection of songs for the band’s comeback.

“We think we have made a really special, exciting record,” he says.

“One that has been fuelled by reunited childhood friendships, new friendships, rediscovery of the records that shaped us, and the drive to create something undeniably great. I’ve had the best year of my life making this album and we are so excited to finally be able to share it!”

A 25-date tour of the UK has been scheduled for later this year, find the details beyond lead single ‘Four Letter Word‘.
