Biography:
This Many Boyfriends are an indiepop band from Northern England. They bonded over a shared love of playing pop music far too loud in rooms far too small. They formed several years ago but have been through more lineup changes than The Fall, before settling on the current one: Richard on lead vocals, Tom on bass guitar, Laura on drums and Daniel on lead guitar.
They are named after a Beat Happening song, and people have compared them to Orange Juice, The Cribs, Hefner and The Smiths.
