Taking things up a notch with sparkling new anthem Wasting Time, Leeds sextet Talkboy reaffirm their budding status as one of Yorkshire’s most exciting indie prospects ahead of their debut EP release this summer.

Joining forces with Leeds label Come Play With Me and LAB Records, the band’s fourth single features a glittering array of melting harmonies nestled within their trademark euphoric walls of noise, qualities that have already attracted widespread acclaim from the likes of The Line Of Best Fit, Dork and Clash over the last twelve months.

With the underlying influences of contemporaries Alvvays, The Big Moon and Sunflower Bean evident within their own unique style, the fledgling six-piece have so far ticked off supports alongside Our Girl, Another Sky and Bully, with a growing number of festival appearances (Blue Dot, Live At Leeds, Y Not, Long Divison) slated for the summer months where their soaring live reputation strongly comes to the fore.

Speaking ahead of their fourth release, Talkboy revealed: “It’s the catch-22 situation we often tend to find ourselves in – that we should enjoy ourselves as much as we can whilst we’re young, but at the same time, there is an over-riding feeing that you are wasting your time and you have the future to consider. It’s a juxtaposition of coming to terms with added responsibilities whilst trying to make the most of the present”.
