The 253 Boys

The Binding force of The 253 Boys is their shared passion for Football (Soccer) & energetic no holes barred Rock N Roll. The name of the band is taken from the old 253 bus route in east london where the inspiration to form a band devoted to the beautiful game and a love of Mod/Punk/Ska/Reggae culture happened somewhere between clapton common and whitechapel. Fast forward a few years to New York, where the idea became a reality at a Johnny Thunders tribute show at CBGBs. The buzz started after gigs at the Continental, Don Hills, The China Club & CBGBs. Within a short time indie radio play was happening and the songs have been heard around the world. It was a great honour when the boys were invited to write and produce the theme song for Fox Football Fone In, Americas top TV Football chat show which goes out 8pm ET Mondays on the Fox Soccer Channel. They travelled to Los Angeles to record the tracks at the famed Village Studios. Their version of Oh Sweet England; currently can be heard on the World Soccer Daily show broadcast on Sirius satellite radio. The Band recorded their first EP, entitled The Wonderful World of Football which is now available on itunes.com and most major download sites. In addition to songs in english the boys have also recorded in spanish & portuguese. The George Best Rhapsody was written as a musical tribute to football legend George Best and is an official song on his foundation website. The animated video for Oh Sweet England can be seen on youtube.comThe Band are currently in the studio working on a new rock opera, which will be released soon, watch this space.
