Wham, bam, BOIDS are back! Montreal’s own pop-punk new-wave weirdo trio bring it back hard with their stellar new third full-length; Quel Drag. BOIDS have been turning the punk scene on it’s head since 2012, offering up their trademark mélange of 80’s era thrash with new-wave tinged pop positivity while taking lyrical deep dives into complex and sometimes obscure (always thought provoking) themes. They’re just as much at home playing sweaty basements shows as they are performing at huge festivals and headlining across Europe, the US and Canada. They’ve shared the stage with The Adicts, The Real McKenzies, Gob, The Planet Smashers and The Brains just to name a few. Quel Drag is eleven massive tracks of freaky fun intensity produced by none other than Tom Thacker of GOB and SUM 41!! Thematically, the new album explodes in an unbridled celebration of the weird and wonderful moments that unite us while firmly rejecting the negative forces that try to bring us all down. Quel Drag is the antithesis to bummer music and quite possibly one the best punk rock albums you’ve heard in a very long time. For fans of: SNFU, Pears, Chixdiggit, Dead To Me, Green Day, Nomeansno, Minor Threat “With heavy inspiration taken from the likes of Dead Kennedys, Rancid, OFF!, and more, they take the familiar sounds and use them to create a new beast.” – New Noise Magazine “Boids are at their very best when they're embracing their inner hopeless romantics.” - Punknews
