George Alley Releases New Two New Singles, "Summer Trophies", "Choice To Be Bad"

Ahead of the release of his self-titled debut album, George Alley has unveiled two brand new singles, “Summer Trophies” and “Choice To Be Bad”. In a press release announcing the two post-punk songs and album, Alley stated the following:

“I was born being obsessed with all kinds of music from the Punk songs I write about as a journalist and professor, to the pop songs I grew up listening to while auditioning for the New Mickey Mouse Club, to the dance music I have been hearing in clubs from New York to Berlin. This is the album I’ve always wanted to make.”

"Summer Trophies was one of the first two songs I released ten years ago. When it was first released, it paid for my trip to California and my Lumix camera I still use. I wanted an end of summer song. My own “Boys of Summer” and used that end of summer nostalgia metaphor for life in a larger lens. I had performed this song live a few times with violinist Russel Kotcher and Cellist Eric Coyne. It inspired this new version which was one of the first things Ian Romer and I recorded. We started from scratch changing the tempo and Ian recorded an amazing acoustic guitar solo."
