LOS ANGELES, CA- I love watching artists evolve over time. One artist who is metamorphosing before my eyes is Boy Deluxe. I first caught wind of this band years ago under their prior incarnation, Ever So Android, and was drawn to their rough, visceral punk edginess. I mean, if “RnR” didn’t get your blood curdling, you’re already dead.

Fast forward to now, as Boy Deluxe, Hope Stinson and Drew Murray have smoothed out their punk leanings with clean production and a real focus on melody. The music is still visceral and edgy, it’s just polished around the edges; ominously dark and with more electronic elements incorporated in the underlying music. 

In fact, their performance at The Echo for Crook’s residency was the first time I saw Drew perform without picking up a guitar to shred. I asked Drew after the set whether Boy Deluxe was veering more to synths going forward, and he suggested that the band had some thoughts about revisiting the grittier punk sound (with live electric guitar) perhaps under a different moniker. Whether they do so as Boy Deluxe, Ever So Android, or as another band, it’s guaranteed I’ll be hitting that show up as well. 

Whatever their incarnation, I’m just a big fan of Hope and Drew’s music. I can’t wait to hear what they are cooking up next.
