Indie fusion band Bosola just released their second EP portraying one’s dichotomous relationship between self-awareness and self-sabotage – an eclectic mix of post-punk, grunge, surf and garage rock, with country and folk influences.
In their new EP ‘Thomas & Judas’, the Newcastle band discuss small-town misogyny, losing faith, past love and toxic relationships, while honing an authentic Britpop grit that flatters their artistic development. Each song showcases a different side of Bosola’s musical identity, while maintaining cohesiveness in the storytelling approach and the overall feel. It’s raw and it’s honest. There’s a true sense that the band is working through issues that hit close to home, as they share their ideas and thoughts, drawing the listener in with genuineness and subversive lyrics.
The tracks are full of fuzz, with a laid-back roughness and vocals that feel effortless, giving the EP a nonchalant edge throughout. My personal favourite is ‘Me On A Good Day’, an easy listen that feels melancholic but hopeful, with seemingly careless lyrics like “if this is me on a good day, what’s the point of waking up?”, which I love.
