Warped Tour Special - It Boys!
|
And we come to the end of our Warped Tour summer. Sigh. It had to end at some point I suppose. We’re ending on a particularly poppy and fun point though – LA-based It Boys!

The boys are making some really fun pop music, and they look the Warped Tour/alternative/pop punk part, so I can see why everyone is going crazy over them. They certainly know how to do it, too – black hair, and a blonde-tipped gorgeous frontman with a beautiful smile? Yup, that’s a hit.
They don’t have an album or anything out yet, but here are their two singles (complete with videos):

And then we all had a lovely chat. Thanks boys!
1. You talk a big game on “Guys Don’t Like Me”. Can you back it up?
Yes
2. Judging by your sound, you are reaching for a top 40 crowd, but then on tracks like “Burning Up” you have alternative mainstay Jeffree Star featured, and you’re on Warped right now. Who is the typical It Boys! fan? Is there such a thing?
Absolutely we strive for top 40. I believe our sound is just that. However, we do not wanna miss a potential fan just because they happen to be in the "scene" etc. We love collaborations and creating music with different styles and genres.
3. Love the two singles, but when can we expect a full album?
Expect a single hitting a station near you within the next few months. Expect the album shortly after. If you're not quite patient enough you can find 'Introduction' online now!
4. One of the best thing about touring with a festival is getting to see other bands play. Who are you all excited to see on Warped this year?
Of Mice & Men, Skinny Lister, Taking Back Sunday, Sleeping With Sirens and Breathe Carolina.
5. (I ask this of everyone) What are some artists or groups that you're listening to now that we should all go and check out?
Gold house, Ed Sheeran, Jeff Oster's country project and Lisa Easter.
It Boys! (gotta have the exclamation point!) are on Facebook, so even if it is too late for you catch them on the tour, you can chat them up online!
Warped Tour ends August 5th this year, so there are still a few dates left for you to grab! Check the website to see if your city is one of the last ones, and if it is, GOOOOOO. If not, I'll see you there next year!
