The Ordinary Boys announce December tour dates

The Ordinary Boys' story began in Worthing in 2001 where they formed from the embers of punk bands that they ad been playing in.

Their first album, Over The Counter Culture, went gold and provided the band with four consecutive top forty hits. It was also greeted with widespread critical acclaim, with the BBC Music review describing it as: "a restless, energetic record that demands to be heard." This success was matched by their second album Brassbound which also achieved gold status, and included the anthem Boys Will Be Boys.

This was their most successful single reaching number three in the charts, number one in the download charts and became one of the 50 biggest selling singles of 2006. Their last album How To Get Everything You Ever Wanted In Ten Easy Steps took the band in a new direction, leaning much more towards pop and disco, and continued the band's chart successes with all the singles from that album gaining entry into the Top Ten.

After the band split in 2008, the band's lead singer Samuel Preston release solo single 'Dressed to Kill' and is now is a successful song writer in his own right.

So why leave the studio and head back onto the stage? The answer is best offered up by Preston himself: "It's been five years since the band played live and despite having forged a career as a songwriter for other artists as well as some development and production you've almost certainly heard Heart Skips A Beat performed by Olly Murs and the Rizzle Kicks this summer) I desperately miss those early, sweaty Ordinary Boys shows. I organised some time off in December to play some of my favourite venues from those days as a little release for myself and to give those songs the decent send off that they deserve."
