On April 17th, the ordinary boys just dropped a fresh, sky-inspired single, called peer pressure, to mark their 20-year anniversary. Is their first new track since their self-titled album back in 2015, channeling that high-energy vibe from their mid-2000s hits? Like boys will be boys, and 95. They've been teasing this comeback for a while, starting with a collab on Christmas starts tonight with Oli Mirz last year, followed by their first. Live show, in over 10 years, at London Strongroom, the band reformed in 2011 after splitting in 2008, and this single drops by a scruff of the neck label. Fans are buzzing about the nostalgic sound, perfect for crowdsing alongs on stage, just like their landmark last-and-berry set two decades ago where, Phil Jupiter's jumped on. Preston says it blends all their old influences into something explosive for live crowds. The lineup features Preston with bassist James Gregory, drummer Charlie Stanley, and guitarist Matthew Powers.

They've lined up 2026 UK shows supporting madness, plus lots of victorious festival, together again, and more. Meanwhile, Preston's been busy songwriting for stars like Cher, Jesse Ware, and Kylie Minob during the hiatus, even reflecting on that infamous. Never mind, the Buzzcocks walk off as a low point. Isle styles catch them live if you can. These indie vets are firing on all cylinders again. Music News, powered by AI. This is Music News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
