Review: Bayboards's New Track “How I Wish I Was Cool”

Bayboards wish they were cool, but we think they already are. The Manchester 4-piece are no strangers to producing an indie banger that you just want to keep on repeat, and “How I Wish I Was Cool” is no different.

Musically, the new single is a perfect example of the captivating sound that the band want to present to listeners, featuring the catchy guitar riffs every good tune needs, with an effective build-up to the chorus. When listeners get to the chorus, the song lyrically encapsulates an idea that most will relate with - ‘how I wish I was cool when I walk down the street’, because generally speaking, who doesn’t want to be cool?

The single is a testament to the band’s ability to create and produce music that is not only musically engaging but stays on track thematically with the societal standards of today. It contributes to their rise in the indie scene and effectively makes them one of the hottest new bands to watch out for.

If this single is any indication of what’s to come from the 4, fans have a lot to look forward to on their musical journey. Picture an energetic, lively and sweaty gig, with mosh pits full of indie kids wishing they were cool - that’s what you’re getting with this single. You can experience that for yourself at their headline gig at Manchester Academy 2 on 23rd November.

Experience them in all their glory live, by getting tickets to their headline show.
