What you say No-one has reviewed Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing? by Absentee yet. Give us your opinion on Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing? by Absentee. What we say This record left our Brian feeling happy. Absentee are a band I struggled with on last hearing due to their vocalist having a rather erm...abrasive voice. He's toned it down to a David Berman-esque low end timbre and the music is straight ahead balls out melodic indie pop on new single 'Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing?' 'Tis kinda like old skool Psychedelic Furs brat pack anthem meets nu-school Pigeon Detectives terrace sing-a-long but the vocals are like Silver Jews meet Smog!! Go figure! It's a pretty cool, joyous radio friendly romp with lots of chiming shaggy guitars & euphoria about it. That chorus is so catchy too. Can see this destroying the airwaves! What the label says: Taken from Absentee’s second full length album, ‘Victory Shorts’, this single comes backed with an exclusive cover of Queens ‘I Want to Break Free’. Radio – Radio 1 Steve Lamacq. Radio 2 Mark Radcliffe, Stuart Maconie. XFM, BBC 6Music George Lamb. A Boy, Did She Teach You Nothing? B I Want to Break Free

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.

'That's just what pop should be like. Loud, fast and very exciting.'
