The Ordinary Boys return after more than a decade.

The Ordinary Boys are marking their 20th anniversary with the release of a brand new track entitled Peer Pressure.

If frontman Preston running to Celebrity Big Brother summed up the fame hungry superficiality of much of the mid-noughties’ UK indie scene, the band’s new single is looking to define some of the more grown up problems faced by the world in the current decade.

“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,” he’s said.

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.

The Ordinary Boys will play various UK festivals during the spring and summer including appearances with Madness in Chipping Sodbury and Canterbury.
