DEAR BOY SHARES NEW SINGLE "SAY WHEN" + VIDEO

Los Angeles-based band Dear Boy excited to share the official video for "Say When," the latest single to be lifted from their debut full-length album out next year on Last Gang Records. The video, which was directed by Dear Boy's Ben Grey and shot by Jason Tippet, can be shared at YouTube and the song is available on all streaming services to add to your favorite playlists.

On the song Grey says:

Say When is about not knowing what you want, but convincing yourself you know who you want it with. When we find someone in life, we're undoubtedly still finding ourselves, trying to control our connections rather than letting them be what they are. Loving someone for real means truly seeing them. Beyond the blur.

This was the last song written for our album. We started working on it during our first few weeks as a band and didn’t finish it until the last few weeks of recording. The song will always feel like the beginning of something new.

"Say When" follows the release of Dear Boy's single "(On My Mind)," which Flood Magazine described as "indebted to romantic ’80s synth-pop and yearning ’90s Brit-pop. It’s like a robust camera flash—bright and bursting new wave." "(On My) Mind" can be shared now on all streaming platforms.

Dear Boy is the torch bearer of lyric-forward guitar music and melody focused indie rock. The band has become an important voice in the LA underground music scene, crafting bittersweet songs inspired by late '70s / early '80s post-punk and early '90s britpop, seen through their unique modern lens.

Dear Boy is a band of best friends from Los Angeles, California. Ben Grey (vocals / guitar), Austin Hayman (guitar), Keith Cooper (drums) and Lucy Lawrence (bass / vocals). With three EPs and a bouquet of singles, Dear Boy has earned an immense and loyal following, selling out headline shows from the Troubadour to The Teragram and touring with the likes of The Psychedelic Furs, James, Pete Yorn, Day Wave, Rogue Wave, Sunflower Bean, DMA’s & Peter Murphy. 2019 also saw the band performing at the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City and recording a live set on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.

In 2020 Dear Boy completed their debut full length album and in 2021, signed with Last Gang. The release will be Dear Boy’s first collaboration with the legendary label. Produced by the band and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Air, Phoenix, M83), the record also features contributions from Day Wave, Hazel English, Rogue Wave, AFI & Ian Hultquist of Passion Pit.

Dear Boy describes it as a “forever record.” They can’t wait to hear the band you start after you finish listening to it.
