Having been one of the championed bands of the DIY London scene for quite some time, Desperate Journalist gained critical praises for their second album Grow Up which was released earlier this year. Pumping out three blazing tracks from the LP, the group have now shared their final single from the record entitled ‘Why Are You So Boring?’. A shining flash of alternative, we have a stream of the song down below.
Regarding ‘Why Are You So Boring?’, singer Jo Bevan wrote:
“The song is inspired by a certain type of irritating person I’ve spent many evenings with in pubs and at gigs and at clubs and at houses. People who think they are desperately interesting and original and crucially, more desperately interesting and original than anyone they meet, because they have once in their lives given something cultural or political more than a modicum of thought, or because they have been told that they have. These people and their lack of self-awareness and their patronizing chatter and their awful flirting techniques are everywhere. They aren’t charming, and they’re ten a penny. It’s a protest song about tossers.”
