SO it's been TEN years sine The Ordinary Boys were last around, and it looks like the decade long hiatus has been well worth it. "Four Letter Word" is the first track lifted from their new self-titled album, and it's a pure out and out Indie-Rock anthem written with huge crowds in mind.
A return to their former sound is no surprise, since the reformed line-up consists of the original trio – Preston, James Gregory (bass) and Charlie ‘Chuck’ Stanley (drums) - plus new member Louis Jones from celebrated power-pop band Spectrals on guitar. Preston met Louis stage-diving at a Cribs gig and, "knew immediately that I wanted him to be my new best friend/collaborator."
