Preston thinks 'Brassbound' is rubbish

Ordinary Boys frontman Preston has told The Sun that the band's 'Brassbound' album was rushed and depressing to make, while their third album 'Ten Steps' draws on his celebrity experiences.

He's probably right. Their debut album was probably better. Anyway, Preston Ordinary Boy has apparently told The Sun that the band were all depressed when making their most recent album 'Brassbound', resulting in its being a bit crap. He said: "Our last album 'Brassbound' was just rushed and unplanned and, well, so depressing. I can't stand listening to it. We were depressed making it. It was a quarter-life crisis. Apart from the single 'Boys Will Be Boys', Brassbound is the least exciting record ever made."

Preston is, however, more confident about his band's third album 'Ten Steps' which apparently uses as inspiration some of the celebrity Big Brother contestant's recent experiences of being in the limelight. He says: "I'm still in that celebrity world and really enjoying it. I have a total fascination for it and the fickleness and ridiculousness of it. But I'm not complaining. The narrative of the album is potentially me - someone who gets seduced by vanity. But I'd say I've only achieved three of the ten steps.

He continues: "I appreciate the fun I've had but I'm happy to go and work in a post office if I have to as I understand the fickleness of fame, take it with a pinch of salt and am just happy to be making music again."
