Spartan Records and Boys Life present “Always,” the latest single from ‘Ordinary Wars’, the brand new four-song EP from the celebrated Kansas City indie-rock quartet. A reminder that all humans should retain a sense of youthful energy, “Always” suggests we should not allow the role of adulthood to become real. Recorded in June 2024 with Duane Trower at Weights and Measures Soundlab, ‘Ordinary Wars’ is the band’s first original offering in close to three decades.
Emerging from Kansas City, Missouri in 1993, Boys Life carved out a niche in the indie rock scene with their passionate, dissonant guitar-driven sound. Comprised of Brandon Butler, Joe Winkle, John Rejba, and John Anderson, the band’s self-titled debut from 1995 and sophomore effort ‘Departures and Landfalls’ from 1996 solidified their legacy. Despite disbanding in 1997, reunion tours in 2015 and 2024 rekindled their collaborative spirit.
