This Boy Wonders

Chris Athorne, Lee Wilkins, Mark Willis and Nikk Butcher are This Boy Wonders. At the start of 2011 This Boy Wonders have been together for just over 2 years.
Front man Chris Athorne had been writing songs for 2 years when the opportunity came to take his music to the next level with a full band and he hasn't looked back.
Since then, the band has recorded three EPs. The first, released back in 2009 entitled ‘Chasing Rainbows’, was a very different sound from now, with a folk/ acoustic feel that runs through the record.

Proof that digging deep will always reward you with a chunk of gold for your shit-covered hands, ‘Zutiqua’ is a rusting, steam-powered automaton of an album...
