"The young bloods in Boyscott, the Nashville based indie rock group, released a new full-length album aptly titled Goose Bumps, on 11.17.15. Deft guitar tones and sweet male-female vocal exchanges set the tone of a beguiling debut reminiscent of The Drums or Beach Fossils. Comparisons aside, where such similar debuts maintained a one-dimensional approach, Boyscott’s Goose Bumps offers more versatility, with songs like “Blonde Blood” and “Nova Scotia 500” establishing surf-rock sensibilities, only to be purposefully challenged by the worldly “Marco Polo.” Other songs simply stun in both tone and composition, none more notably than “Killer Whale,” presumably highlighting an awkward dichotomy between two people recently acquainted. All in all, Goose Bumps provides a proper introduction to one of the DIY indie scene's soon-to-be preeminent rock groups, Boyscott." -Sean McHugh
