Boytoy is a new band featuring members of You Can Be A Wesley and Beast Make Bomb. Split between Boston and Brooklyn, the trio had only played together a few times before their visit to our studio, but their chemistry was immediately apparent. With a bassless, twin guitar approach, they bust out woozy pop songs with a punch. They played a few of their new songs and revealed the secret to their musical magic (Spoiler: Brazilian butt exercises).
Featured song: “Bad Brain”
