Blog Post: Boys who Like Girls

The band sure knows how to mix business with pleasure.

Boys Like Girls may be having the time of their lives strumming away at their electric guitars or singing their hearts out for all the world to hear. But beneath the sound and the fury are four young men as dead serious about values as they are with their music.

"Kids today grow up so fast. They should enjoy their youth more," declares vocalist-guitarist Martin Johnson. He and his band mates, Bryan Donahue (bassist), Paul DiGiovanni (lead guitarist) and John Keefe (drummer) are in the country for the first time to perform at the Ayala Malls (tomorrow, Sept. 5, 7 p.m. at Trinoma Activity Center and Glorietta Activity Center on Sept. 6, 5 p.m.).

The song has all the hooks a teenager can ever dream of: A lively beat that makes you get up and dance, guitar riffs, etc. But listen more closely and there's more to it. There's wise brotherly advice in there. And parents have every reason to relax and smile.

The band can sing this way because they're speaking from experience.

That's a promise to stay from Boys Like Girls. And that's good news for fans who want to see more of this rock band that has produced hits like Hero/Heroine and The Great Escape.

Besides, once you've been named Artists of the Year and one of Alternative Press's 100 bands You Need to Know in 2007" the way the band has, you've got a reputation to live up to.

The album of Boys like Girls is basically a run-through of my life from ages 18 to 21, my relationships, what it's like being thrown out into the real world and leaving my hometown comfort zone. It's a commentary on life and my own personality." This music is like a diary of our lives. Just listening to it relaxes your mind but some songs are emotional.
