Preston: Ordinary Boys LP Was 'Least Exciting Record Ever Made'

Ordinary Boys singer Preston has admitted that his band’s last album was “the least exciting record ever made”.

The frontman explained that the whole band were “depressed” when making ‘Brassbound’, which would have most probably sounded the death-knell for the band if it wasn’t for Preston’s starring appearance in Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

He confides to The Sun, “Our last album Brassbound was just rushed and unplanned and, well, so depressing. I can’t stand listening to it. We were depressed making it. (It) was a quarter-life crisis. Apart from the single Boys Will Be Boys, Brassbound is the least exciting record ever made.”

However, Preston is more upbeat about his group’s third album ‘Ten Steps’ which draws on his experiences of the showbiz world following his marriage to fellow Big Brother contestant Chantelle.

He explains, “I’m still in that celebrity world and really enjoying it. I have a total fascination for it and the fickleness and ridiculousness of it. But I’m not complaining. The narrative of the album is potentially me - someone who gets seduced by vanity. But I’d say I’ve only achieved three of the ten steps.

“I appreciate the fun I’ve had but I’m happy to go and work in a post office if I have to as I understand the fickleness of fame, take it with a pinch of salt and am just happy to be making music again.”
