New album and new single from Bouts.
Bouts are Barry Bracken (singer and guitars), Daniel Flynn (drums, percussion), Colin Boylan (guitar and keys) and Niall Jackson (bass, vocals).
Formed in 2011, Irish indie-rock quartet have grown musically and personally over the last eight years and are now making the most fulfilling music of their lives. It’s been quite a journey.
In Summer 2014, a year after the release of their debut album, Nothing Good Gets Away, and a frenetic early period of activity, lead singer Bracken relocated to Asia, while their bassist Jackson, moved to the UK.
With only two members remaining in Ireland, they still found a way to keep writing, recording and releasing music through 2015 and 2016. This harmony brought the group closer together as friends and resulted in a richer, more focused melody driven guitar-pop.
They are about to release their brand new album, Flow, on 25 January and this track is on it of course. The lads will be touring the album too so it’s an exciting new year ahead for all things Bouts.
