The Boy Least Likely To are an English twee pop/indie rock duo, comprised of composer/multi-instrumentalist Pete Hobbs and lyricist/singer Jof Owen. Owen and Hobbs both grew up in the village of Wendover in Buckinghamshire. They met when they were still in school and started writing songs together. They began writing and recording songs for The Boy Least Likely To in the summer of 2002. The group created the independent label Too Young to Die as a means to release their music. Their first release was the 7" single "Paper Cuts" in 2003. They released three singles and completed the recording of their debut album before they played any live shows. Their debut album The Best Party Ever was released in the UK in February of 2005. The album was released in the United States in late Spring 2006. They controversially toured opening for James Blunt, something the band decided to do because they "thought it would be funny" for a band that came from a such an indie perspective to tour with such a mainstream pop artist. The Best Party Ever was included in the Pitchfork top 50 albums of 2005 and was number 8 in the Rough Trade Shop top 100 albums of the same year. They are known for the colourful characters that they use in their artwork, which are drawn by Jof Owen's brother, Tim. The band describe their own sound as "Country Disco". They were included in the top ten bands of 2006 in Rolling Stone magazine, and described as sounding like what would happen "if all your childhood stuffed animals got together and started a band." In October of 2006 they toured the United Kingdom with Razorlight. In September of 2006 they began work on their second album. Members: -Pete Hobbs. -Jof Owen. |
