What's New: Wishing Well

"Wishing Well’s ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ – A Raucous Ode to Rock’s Eternal Kidult Spirit"

Oh, Finland’s Wishing Well just dropped a bombshell of nostalgia! After their brooding 2023 album Sin and Shame, these hard-rock stalwarts are back with “Boys Will Be Boys” – a cheeky, foot-stomping anthem that’s less “serious artiste” and more “air guitar at 2 a.m.” Recorded with the legendary Wheelers and Dealers Choir (yes, Graham Bonnet’s in the mix!), this track is a love letter to rock’s unapologetic fun side.

“We almost tossed it for being too silly,” chuckles guitarist Anssi Korkiakoski. “But once the gang vocals kicked in, it shot up like a firework!” The band’s secret sauce? Rounding up ex-vocalists and metal icons for a choir that’s part campfire singalong, part stadium roar. The DIY music video, filmed mid-studio chaos, oozes the kind of camaraderie that’d make Spinal Tap grin.

Korkiakoski nails it: “Life’s not all doom riffs and minor keys. We’re just big kids with amps.” And don’t let the title fool you – this shout-along romp isn’t just for the boys. It’s a toast to every headbanger who’s ever air-drummed in traffic.

Let’s be real – rock’s been called “dead” more times than Keith Richards’ naps. But Wishing Well’s latest? It’s a jolt of pure, undiluted joy. Picture a sweaty pub gig where the beers flow, the riffs crunch, and your inner 15-year-old high-fives your present-day self. The track’s a reminder: music doesn’t need to be profound to hit hard. Sometimes, you just wanna crank the volume and yell, “Hell yeah!”
