THE Ordinary Boys are back with a brand new album and a 25-date tour, stopping at The Joiners this weekend.

Audiences will be treated to new tracks from their self-titled latest LP, which was out last month, as well as some old favourites.

The band are back to their original line-up from their debut album Over The Counter Culture, of Samuel Preston, Charlie 'Chuck' Stanley and James Gregory, with the addition of Louis Jones from celebrated power-pop band Spectrals.

This past year, they have been in the studio with Rory Atwell (the Vaccines, Veronica Falls) and MJ (of Hookworms) and Dan Lancaster (Bring Me The Horizon, Lower Than Atlantis) has mixed the album.

They promise a special record, fuelled by reunited childhood friendships, new friendships, rediscovery of the records that shaped them and the drive to create something undeniably great.

The Ordinary Boys are an English indie rock band from Worthing. Originally a hardcore outfit named Next in Line, they are influenced by punk rock and Brit pop music as well as the likes of the Clash, the Specials, the Jam, the Kinks and the Smiths.

Formed in 2002, their name is derived from a Morrissey song. Following success in the UK charts with songs including Maybe Someday, Talk Talk Talk and Seaside, their popularity grew following Preston's appearance on Celebrity Big Brother in 2006. Their single Boys Will Be Boys, which appeared in the fifth Harry Potter movie, reached number three in the UK singles chart and number one in the UK download chart as he dated his fellow Big Brother housemate Chantelle Houghton, who he later married and then divorced.

The band split in 2008 and reformed in their current guise last year.

They are followed by a loyal fanbase The Ordinary Army.
