Even though they’re in their early twenties, labeling Madrid trio Boston Babies as mere rookies would be a serious misjudgment. In fact, they operate like seasoned r’n’r pros on their self-titled debut (mini)LP; skilled and hungry, perhaps a bit unlucky, being born 25 years too late. But they look and play like they don’t care at all. The band’s raw punk rock, with more than a hint of glamrock’-n’-roll, is explosive and stage ready to light a fire under audiences worldwide.
It’s inspiring to see a fresh breed not just proudly pay homage to the classic punk forefathers, but also succesfully resurrecting the gritty spirit of ’70s-era NYC. LP out now at Slovenly!
