An Irish indie band that writes about everyday situations with a detached, observational tone.
If you want to get their vibe, 'A Day In Space' and 'I Hate Scotland' are good places to start. They're both typical Ballboy, dreamy, a little detached, and oddly specific.
Ballboy's songs have this way of making the mundane feel quietly strange. 'I Wonder If You're Drunk Enough To Sleep With Me Tonight' captures their knack for awkward, specific moments. They've built a small catalog of songs that don't try to be anthems, just honest little scenes.
They formed in Dublin in 2009 and put out their first album, 'I Dream Weird,' in 2011. The lineup has stayed steady since then, and they've kept writing songs in their own wry style without chasing trends.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
