BORED MAN OVERBOARD
„The end is near now“, David sings, leaned against the centuries-old walls of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. It’s not an apocalyptical line at this monumental place, but a very personal story about regret and the moments before a breakup. One by one his bandmates join in, adding layer by layer, violin, guitar, drums, trumpet; until finally everything stops except the finger-picked guitar it all started with. The song is called “Wine” and serves as example for many beautifully crafted and emotionally striking songs of these impressively talented seven young guys from Stockholm, who have already released three EP’s and are working on their debut album. “In A Box” is another proof of their remarkable songwriting and arrangements skills. We took them through the narrow lanes of Vienna’s old town to the city center, just before they opened this years Blue Bird Festival. Despite the early slot at the festival and the quiet backside of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, they easily won the audience over on both occasions.
