The Strange Boys - BE BRAVE
Calling this “Best New Music” may be misleading considering “Be Brave” comes from the Austin band’s similarly-named sophomore LP–released waaaay back in February. But in my defense if this the first time you’ve heard The Strange Boys then it is surely “new” to you and it follows that it’ll probably be one the “best” songs you’ve heard in a while. And it should also follow that you’ll run out and buy Be Brave or at least go check out the band at one of these upcoming shows:
