Inspired by the tragedy this past summer, in which a 22-year-old baseball player was killed by two teens out of boredom, Arizona garage-rockers Petty Things released their first digital 7-inch entitled Bored. Despite the dark inspiration, the title track “Bored” is a compact lo-fi pop song crafted with care, that is as fun as it is thought-provoking. Also on the 7-inch are two tracks, each falling short of the two-minute mark, called “Not Fade Away/A Million Things” and “The Itch.” You can stream “Bored” below.
Bored is out now on GNAR Tapes.
