Our Nameless Boy

Inspired by the emotionally charged, quiet/loud and sometimes frenetic dynamics of the late ‘90s/‘00s US alternative/emo scene, Bristol based alt-rock band Our Nameless Boy bring their own brand of raucous energy to their performances, with songs that are hard hitting and subtle in their intricacies. 

The debut album, “Colour From the Doves” (2021, Beth Shalom Records), is a sincere and difficult reflection on a year that songwriter Iain spent recovering from a life threatening disease. Much like the subject matter, ‘CFTD’ is unpredictable in its delivery, with a purposefully scattered narrative and sonics that will at times haunt and at others overwhelm.

Our Nameless Boy attempt to critique and better understand the modern human condition, our propensity towards black & white, right vs wrong, the ease with which we dilute context and nuance to serve our arguments, whilst encouraging a degree of empathy and consideration.
