Like it or not, The Strange Boys are probably both younger and more accomplished than you. Since the band's humble beginnings as a duo in 2003, they've shared stages with the likes of Roky Erickson, Daniel Johnston, and Black Lips, leaving a smattering of singles, EPs, and CDR's in their wake. The band's full-length debut, And Girls Club, wound up on countless best-of-2009 lists and landed them a record deal (outside North America) with Rough Trade. Now, the Boys kick off 2010 with their follow-up, Be Brave, and it's guaranteed to please any and all who appreciate an infectious mix of ramshackle garage rock, polished Village Green-era Kinks melodies, and vocals that suggest a young Bob Dylan had he spent more of his formative years in juvenile halls than coffeehouses. And who can't dig that? I See, A Walk on the Bleach, Be Brave, Friday in Paris, Between Us, Da Da, Night Might, Dare I Say, Laugh at Sex Not Her, All You Can Hide Inside, The Unsent Letter, You Can't Only Love When You Want to
