Twisted Charm - Boring Lifestyles

Twisted Charm like The Specials. They also like The Sex Pistols and PIL. They have, somehow, managed to combine the most obnoxious parts of all three into one beat-ska infused song that is new single, 'Boring Lifestyles'. Complete with some sort of pseudo social commentary about how people's lives are boring these days, it sounds about 25 years out of date. Boring Lifestyles fits perfectly into the Ordinary Boys / Hard-Fi paradigm. All irrelevant lyrics, and sounds that have been explored a million times before, 'Boring Lifestyles' is, well, boring.
