Boys Like Girls have announced they’ll embark on a coast-to-coast co-headlining national tour with The All-American Rejects, kicking off September 13 in Hampton Beach, NH. On the tour will also be special guests The Ready Set and Parachute.
Three songs from the LP “Be Your Everything,” “Life Of The Party” and “The First Time” can be heard now as the Crazy World EP is exclusively available on iTunes.
“I’ve always been a big fan of The All-American Rejects and couldn’t be more delighted to be sharing the stage with them this fall,” BOYS LIKE GIRLS front man MARTIN JOHNSON says. “I think it’s going be a great time for both the fans and bands alike. Looking forward to a really great couple of months.”
About the song “Be Your Everything,” JOHNSON says, “It’s a great transition from where the band was. We came from a wall of guitars, and the sound has evolved.” He adds: “The only time I really express my feelings is when I’m writing music. That’s how it’s been since I was a little kid. This song is about the moment when it becomes okay to say, I love you.”
“Crazy World takes you to a different place,” JOHNSON explains. “That was the point. Everything is so hyperactive and the digital distractions can be overwhelming. Step aside in this Crazy World and experience the things that truly matter.”
