Great DIY Pop: Real Numbers – “New Boy”
Real Numbers
“New Boy”
Wordless Wonder
From the bass riff at the beginning of this song to the jangling guitar to the great vocals, Real Numbers are the real deal. Members of the band include Eli Hansen (Cozy, Boys Club, Retainers) on vocals and guitars, John Eggerman (Cozy, Private Interests, Mystery Date) on bass, and James Blackfield (France Camp, Nice Purse) on drums. The addition of full time lead guitar player Ian Nygaard (Nice Purse, Howler) reveals a much fuller sound while maintaining the band’s trademark DIY simplicity. The sound melds to just great sing-a-long music. I love this band.
