Drowning Boy Single
We Are Horror Records
2025
My newly found pals in the AZ. Horror Punk band, the Boogeyman have released a single entitled “Drowning Boy”. Normally, this wouldn’t be such a big deal, but since receiving their album “Rotten Leaves” the band has been in constant rotation here at my lair. I’ve been obsessed with the band specifically since I got such a big X-Ward/Misfits vibe off their album. I know I talk a gang of smack about Misfits vibes being over done but when it’s done correctly, you can’t just walk away and ignore it. I certainly can’t.
On the new single “Drowning Boy” swings for the fences from the word go. Everything is amped up and the band comes in with the classic woah chant and jumps right into the song. It carries a sincere sense of desperation, but it also gives the lyrics a feel of importance – like what we’re singing really matters and we want you to understand we’re not fooling around.
Musically, it’s heartfelt and emotional in the delivery. It also doesn’t hurt that the band is well rehearsed, and nothing is out of place whatsoever, they were clearly ready to record when they hit the studio. While the track carries big Punk vibes, underneath it all resides a big Rock feel and the lead break really exposes it. The Rock guy in me will always be here for that! Vocally, I think we’re looking at the best effort yet from the band and that’s a big feat - this band is off the charts vocally. If this track is a prelude of what we can expect from the band on their next full-length album, we’re going to be in for a treat – this is a great tune!
Currently, the band has the track loaded up on their bandcamp page for a buck or you can purchase a shirt with the cover art and get the track along with it too. Not a bad deal and not a bad way to celebrate and support the band.
