Boston Manor

Boston Manor are a British pop punk band formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, England in 2013. That year they released their first EP "Here/Now." In 2014, Boston Manor released both a split with the band Throwing Stuff, as well as another  EP titled "Driftwood." In 2015, they signed to Pure Noise Records and released a four-song EP titled "Saudade" followed in 2016 with their first full-length album entitled “Be Nothing.” In September 2018 came their their sophomore effort, "Welcome to the Neighbourhood" featuring the popular single "Halo." Now the band is going to be releasing their third full-length album "Glue" on May 1st, and it features 13 highly-charged songs that came out of a process that lead singer Henry Cox describes as “very chaotic,"  but the result is a truly ferocious album - one that both draws and moves on from what they’ve done in the past, incorporating the gloomy atmospherics of 2018’s "Welcome To The Neighbourhood" with the aggressive-yet-melodic punk of 2016’s debut, "Be Nothing." Like "Welcome To The Neighbourhood," "Glue" was recorded at The Barber Shop studios in New Jersey, but with a very different approach to that record. Produced by Mike Sapone and engineered by Brett Romnes, Cox admits that these are not just the most primal and plain-speaking songs the band – completed by guitarists Mike Cunniff and Ash Wilson, bassist Dan Cunniff and drummer Jordan Pugh – have ever recorded, but everything the previous seven years have been leading up to. “This is the start of our band finally becoming the band that we want to be,” he says. “It's taken us so long to get here, but I'm really proud of us for becoming our own thing. Not once did we think about what people wanted to hear – we just went entirely down the rabbit hole with it. Our only rule was to do what we wanted to do. Even when thinking about playing the songs live, we just decided to figure that out later and move forward with what we wanted to make at that point in time in the studio. And I'm really happy that we did that.” The first single from "Glue" is "Ratking" which should once again propel the band into more of "this is a band to watch" territory!
