Uha, uha. Elektronisk rock, rockende elektronica eller synthiziser møder en lille guitar. Boyskout er fire kvinder, en mand og et orgel fra det amerikanske, som glider afsted med elektronisk rock, rockende elektronica eller synthiziser møder en lille guitar. Lidt á la Le Tigre møder B52 og tager en svingom, mens inspirationskilderne fra så forskellige dejlige navne som Cure, Sleater-Kinney, Slumber Party und Siouxie & Banshees er tydelige. New Wave Punk Electronica i bedste stil. Eller sagt med deres egne ord: "Boyskout, a blend of thumping rhythms, dungeony arrangements, seductive vocal callings, and full-throttle attitude belted out amidst layers of surprising melodies, BoySkout's songs range from tight dark pop ditties - rock n roll goes dancing - to synth-driven ballads and eerily compelling tales of self-expression.".. uha, uha, man har svært ved at blive væk!!

Fra det svenske dukker The State of Floral Beings op med et svært beskrivelig rock i nærheden af electroclash. Udgivet på det uafhængige pladeselskab Trewetha Records og med to udgivelser i bagagen. Spørg man dem selv om deres musik, får man kun det kryptiske svar: We do whatever we like, and then we do it completely different. We are children of the 70’s, raised on the bands of the 90’s."... en electronisk rock er nok ikke helt ved siden af... Og et lille ketboard har der da sneget sig ind...

Og hvad der er skrevet om Boyskout...

Boyskout came to fruition in 2001 when singer guitarist Leslie Satterfield was offered a show opening for her long time favorite act The Need. Never mind that Boyskout didn't exist yet, or that she only had three weeks to prepare. She and band mates took the stage with a handful of songs, a bucket full of nerves, and disposition to spare. In 2003 the ladies of Boyskout met up with acclaimed Bay Area producer Jeff Salzman (Stephen Malkumus, Killers, Will Oldham) who recorded their debut album School of Etiquette, which came out in 2004 on Alive Records (Black Keys, Two Gallants). The album garnered critical praise, such as: "If some CBGB's Frankenstein had managed, circa 1977, to transplant Patti Smith's sensibility into Blondie's garage-band pop, the result would have sounded something like BoySkout's "School of Etiquette."- Mark Jenkins, Washington Post. Boyskout's current line up includes Leslie Satterfield on guitar and vocals, Zola Goodrich on keyboard and guitar, Piper Lewine on bass and Jesse Rivkin on drums.
