As a matter of fact, if you didn\u2019t know they were from Brooklyn and ran in the same circles as Parquet Courts, you might think they were British. Though there are no dodgy accents on their debut EP, <i>No Worry No Mind<\/i> (Captured Tracks), the band\u2019s noisy walls of guitar, driving bass, and punchy drums sound more like first-wave British post-punk than anything contemporary. It\u2019s an area that\u2019s been mined by lots of bands, but the B Boys nail not only the sound but also the feel of the records from that era. From the half-shouted vocals to the frantic, barely contained pace, it\u2019s easy to spot the influences, but somehow it doesn\u2019t feel derivative.<\/p>\n<p>That neoteric feeling could perhaps be attributed to the fact that there\u2019s not a lot of messing around on <i>No Worry<\/i>. The eight tracks clock in at 21 minutes and one of those songs is a reprise, so there\u2019s no time for chin stroking. Indeed, once you get caught up in the energy, you cease to care about things like originality. Plus, they manage to sneak in some surf guitar on \u201cI Don\u2019t Mind\u201d that surprisingly works well with the post-punk vibe. The EP has a number of interesting choices like that. When \u201cPsycho\u201d is reprised as the closing track, it\u2019s half-speed so as to put an emphasis on the lyrics. It plays as if the B Boys want you to make sure you know they have more than one mode. There\u2019s no telling where the band will go on their next record, but they\u2019ve for sure shown themselves as a band to watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contrary to the throwback hip-hop connotations of its moniker, Brooklyn-based trio B Boys is more likely to geek out over Wire and Gang of Four B-sides than<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[2],"tags":[34,1640,282],"class_list":["post-4486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-album-reviews","tag-album-review","tag-b-boys","tag-captured-tracks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>B Boys No Worry No Mind - The Agit Reader<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/b-boys-no-worry-no-mind\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"B Boys No Worry No Mind - The Agit Reader\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Contrary to the throwback hip-hop connotations of its moniker, Brooklyn-based trio B Boys is more likely to geek out over Wire and Gang of Four B-sides than\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/b-boys-no-worry-no-mind\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Agit Reader\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheAgitReader\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-03-18T18:31:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2016-03-24T13:15:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http:\/\/agitreader.com\/wp2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/b_boy-no_worry_no_mind.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dorian S.
