The Boo Radleys 2026

This ethos fed 96's C'mon Kids, which "scared away 100,000 fans", and their 98 swansong Kingsize: sophisticated, electronic-tinged, and commercially underperforming. Reuniting in 2021 as a trio, what could have been a nostalgic retreat instead became a creative rebirth, with Sice, Tim, and Rob adopting democratic songwriting processes and leveraging home recording technology. Keep On With Falling (22) - "hooks, energy, and breathless joy" - balanced 80s synth-pop influences with the band's classic sound.

Eight (2023) demonstrated they had "found a happy space," delivering "one melodic hook after another" with keyboard-led psychedelia, politically charged anthems, and orchestrated arrangements. Ninth album, In Spite of Everything, is released on 1st May 26. Possessing an inimitable flair for enticing melody in off-kilter sounds; dealing with interlinked themes such as searing self-reflection, the chaos of nature, fractured friendships and judging life's biggest decisions, the record maintains an irrepressible energy.
