New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Columbia Records) Boys Like Girls are back and are currently in the studio finishing recording a brand new album for fall release on Columbia Records. Crazy World is Boys Like Girls' third studio album and the follow-up to 2009's Love Drunk. After years of recording and touring and a brief hiatus, the new album finds frontman
Martin Johnson approaching songwriting with a more grown-up perspective, showcasing his skills as a mature songwriter capable of stretching beyond the pop-rock genre the band came up in as teenagers. Crazy World was produced by Johnson and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, U2.)
The band released a teaser video earlier this week on their Facebook page, and today
Martin released another video message to fans announcing the new album at www.boyslikegirls.com
BLG will perform on the Main Stage at the 10th Anniversary Bamboozle Festival this Sunday. They will also play a headlining set at Mayfair in Allentown, PA next week.
