Boyracer “The Heartbreaker”

Boyracer – well, what can we say about the mighty ‘Racer? Some of my favorite Slumberland records are Boyracer records, and through these many years Stewart has steadfastly stuck to his DIY roots. His dedication to putting the Punk into pop has been an inspiration, and his records never fail to get us fired up. Since pairing up with Jen and repairing to the hot and dusty Arizona desert, their output has amazingly not flagged at all, and while the climate for indie labels might not be the best right now, Jen & Stew continue to release quality records on 555.

The latest is the first Boyracer vinyl LP in ages, “Sunlight Is The Best Antiseptic.” 12 songs, limited to 100 copies and packaged in a hand-screened sleeve, this is classic Boyracer – rambunctious, noisy-as-heck pop with it’s punk roots showing. Opener “The Heartbreaker” is a great example of what Boyracer 2008 are all about – rough, immediate, tuneful and bursting with energy. I hear these are selling out quickly, so don’t delay. Get on over to the 555 mail order page and grab one.
