The Boys - Alternative Chartbusters
Review by Claudio Alves
Alternative Chartbusters by Boys is an album that showcases the band's unique sound and style. The album features a variety of tracks that range from upbeat and energetic to mellow and introspective. The songs are well-crafted and feature catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and impressive instrumentation.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Brickfield Nights," a fast-paced and guitar-driven song that captures the spirit of the punk rock movement of the late 1970s. Another highlight is "First Time," a slower ballad that showcases the band's ability to write heartfelt and emotional songs.

If Springfield sang it, they’d be calling it a classic. Legendary song in its own right and the Boys made it a classic! The Boys and Eddie and the hot rods are up there in my top list!
up there with the Lurkers and Riki and Last Days Of The earth...pure class
Haha!! Public school boys..Eton, but they were pretty good and undervalued
