OhBoy!, a scuzzy quintet from the Midlands, have unveiled their new visuals for searing single "Beautiful Terrible" on Best Fit.
Mixing runaway riffs from the early '90s with power-pop hallmarks, the band bridge the gap between Asobi Seksu and Los Campesinos! - it's part endless fun, part endless fuzz. The video, showing the band behind the scenes as well on stage, is pockmarked with the handwritten (and often imperfect) lyrics to the track. It looks like a scrapbook come to life.
You can download the track for free now from OhBoy!'s website.
Watch the "Beautiful Terrible" video below.
