This Many Boyfriends – ‘Young Lovers Go Pop’ (Angular Records)

Since Oasis killed the actual concept of indie back in the 90’s, it’s become a by-word for styles of hair and tight jeans, even musically inept desperate careerists like Johnny Borrel have been described as indie, the only reason being that there is a guitarist in his crappy band.
New Leeds band This Many Boyfriends hark back to the days of indie being on y’know..independant labels, the jagged onslaught of guitars and furious drums coat what is a great indie pop track in the style of over enthusiastic indie bands in the mid 80’s such as The Wedding Present and early Pop Will Eat itself.
Hopefully these guys will render American bands trying to do indie pop from 25 years ago such as The Drums as redundant, if they have more of the same up their sleeves these scruffbags could be onto something really special. 8/10
