Alias Kid Return with New Single “Out With The Boys”

Alias Kid are back with the energising new single, Out With The Boys. A shot of straight-up rock’n’roll, the Manchester scene staples return with a song that oozes with a lust for life and living-it to the full. “Where you gonna go when you find yourself running right into rock and roll” sneers Maz Thrills, his gravelled tones rising above a glorious cacophony of razored guitars in overdrive. Written in the heart of lockdown of last year when a night out seemed like both a distant memory and far flung prospect, Out With The Boys was written by Alias Kid‘s songwriters-in-chief Maz and Sean as they dared to dream of the world outside and its dormant nightlife. 

Swapping demos and ideas between Zoom, Whatsapp audio messages and more as they passed the time, by the time the restrictions had lifted the pairing had fleshed out what we now hear as the fully formed Out With The Boys. Taking it straight into the studio, the finished version was recorded at Big City Jack‘s and produced by Alias Kid‘s new lead guitarist Tony Long, who has been producing records in NYC for some years already, with added input from the rest of the band. Reconnecting with long-term supporter Alan McGee this year, Out With The Boys is the first release on his latest label venture It’s Creation Baby. Signing a record deal with the kind of tale we’ve come to expect from the Creation Stories legend, Maz remembers: “Alan (McGee) wrote out a record contract on the back of a hotel lunch menu when he met up with Sean in town. Sean obviously signed it immediately and now we are releasing with Creation.”
