Last month, George AlleyNews of the self-titled debut album followed his screening of his band's concert footage on June 27 as the official LGBTQIA+ artist for Groundfloor Studios for Pride Month, with a series of planned live shows and DJ sets to follow in September. These great new post-punk pop songs confirm Alley's description of the follow-up to his darker ballad “Just let me dream“ as “a power record”.

When announcing the album, he stated:

“I was obsessed with all kinds of music from birth, from the punk songs I write about as a journalist and professor to the pop songs I heard as a child auditioning for the New Mickey Mouse Clubto the dance music I hear in clubs from New York to Berlin. This is the album I've always wanted to make.”

Regarding the discussion about “Summer Trophies,” George Alley says:

“'Summer Trophies' was one of the first two songs I released ten years ago. When it was first released, it funded my trip to California and my Lumix camera, which I still use. I wanted a song for the end of summer. My own 'Boys of Summer' and used that nostalgic metaphor for life on a larger scale. I had played that song live a few times with the violinist. Russell Kotcher and cellist Eric Coyne. It inspired this new version, which was one of the first things Ian Romer and I recorded. We started over, changed the tempo and Ian recorded a fantastic acoustic guitar solo.”
