Girlfriends and Boyfriends just rocks so hard. How many bands can have this much range, for so long, and do it so well? Their sound is always fresh, their sound tight. This album sounds more “retro” than Fallacy of Fairness, but then again some of the songs _were_ recorded 10+ years ago. Post-punk… new wave… goth… synthpop… straight punk ala The Buzzcocks… creative melodies like The Smiths… and their instruments just have “that tone” paired with Grant’s voice. Buy this now.
Favorite track: Careless Memories.

Raw punk energy meets refined shades of new wave, post-punk, and indie rock on this new release from Girlfriends and Boyfriends. Following the success of 2021’s brilliant Fallacy of Fairness, the band is back with Lost in the Noise, a retrospective featuring two brand new tracks (“Lovers in a Dangerous Time,” “Lost in the Noise”) plus six earlier recordings previously never released on any physical format. The title track is an instant classic, complete with a massive sax solo for good measure. Lead single “Lovers in a Dangerous Time” covers Bruce Cockburn’s 1984 classic with confidence; it’s a captivating take and sure to become your summer anthem of 2024. The remaining cuts have all been completely remixed and remastered and include personal favorites “Danger Line,” “Hi-Tops,” a gritty cover of Duran Duran’s “Careless Memories,” and “Ambulance,” all of which more than hold their own on the album. Midnight Mannequin Records is proud to present Girlfriends and Boyfriends’ Lost in the Noise on deluxe, limited edition vinyl, complete with OBI strip and insert. Give it a listen and get lost in the noise…

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
Darkwave synth that directly addresses our modern dystopian political environment, with proceeds going to the Voting Rights Project. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 17, 2018
Three new songs and three remixes from Italian darkwavers Ash Code will surely grace goth club speakers once we can go pick cobwebs again. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 9, 2021
