We’re delighted to announce that former Oxford Collapse frontman Mike Pace is set to release his debut album as Mike Pace and the Child Actors. If you weren’t privy to the joyous indie rock of Oxford Collapse then, frankly, I feel sorry for you. Thankfully Mike is giving you a second chance.
The video below has a brief sample of every track off of the new album. The only downside is that they are all playing at the same time. So, unless you have some particularly tight-lipped political prisoners to interogate, or belong to the psy-ops division in some far away army, the video only serves to whet your appetite and give you some idea of Mike’s sense of humour.

If you want something a little more listener-friendly, check out the lead single from Best Boy below. ‘Summer Lawns’ is everything you could want from a project rising from the ashes of Oxford Collapse.

Best Boy is pencilled for release on the 13th January via The Self-Starter Foundation. We will be putting up a much more in-depth review in good time.
