One more song: Do we really need encores anymore?
Encores have long been an established tradition in live music, but are they really necessary? Scene Queen, Boston Manor and The Wonder Years reveal how their shows end by mixing things up…
“We knew we wanted to capture some of the sleaziness of the track…”

Boston Manor have dropped a film noir-esque video for their new single, Bad Machine.
“When we composed the song we already had accompanying visuals in mind for it and when recording the album we had films playing in the background that we thought would match up with the sounds we were making,” says frontman Henry Cox. “We knew we wanted to capture some of the sleaziness of the track and condense the video down to a sequence of ‘moments’, almost like a movie trailer. The song has such massive differences in dynamics between the verses & choruses so it was important that we captured that in the video.”
Bad Machine is taken from Boston Manor's forthcoming Welcome To The Neighbourhood album, which is due out on September 7 via Pure Noise Records. Pre-order it here.
