BOYR!OT, ALL THE BEST, JESS! | Song Review 🎵

Los Angeles-based queer, alt-rock/pop-punk duo BOYR!OT gives their best on their energetic, high-flying, rocking single, “ALL THE BEST, JESS!”.

“My therapist / Said you were a narcissist / I guess I’m just a masochist / Craving the taste of our lips.” Oh, snap! Los Angeles-based queer alt-rock/pop-punk duo BOYR!OT (Greg Driscoll and Brendan Eprile) keep it a buck on their electrifying, rocking single, “ALL THE BEST, JESS!”.  Jess is something else, as Greg and Brendan tell it. Driscoll, Eprile, and Marlo Berberian penned this spirited song. NKLAI and Taylor Morrow produced.

“Soulsucker / You found a different lover / You always kept me down / And now I’m looking for an upper.” Sigh, love will make you do crazy and risky things… and drugs… BOYR!OT, specifically Driscoll in the first verse, tries to convince us they’re unbothered, but the chorus confirms being bothered.

“Even though you’re just a

Hot mess

Such a fucking

Actress

Was I just a conquest

Use someone else

I guess

I just failed

Your Chem test

Wish you all the best, Jess

Use someone else…”

‘Jess’ deserves the “Go fuck yourself” by BOYR!OT that concludes the lengthy but potent chorus. Brendan shines in the second verse, taking over the lead vocals. Greg and Brendan serve up high-flying, energetic vocals – you buy what they sell.  The lyrics are believable – emotional and honest.  The instrumental rocks. What more can you ask for? “ALL THE BEST, JESS!” is the best!
