Bollo Bollo - ‘Portable Terminal’
Bollo Bollo return with their most expansive track to date! New single ‘Portable Terminal’ sees the band fueling the likes of Soft Play and Don Broco - they show us exactly why they are one of the best new bands coming out of Buckinghamshire at the moment.
With this being their first single of 2024 - you can tell the band have been hard at work building on their sound. Pushing away from the friendly indie sound that was found on previous releases. This track sees them armed with more power, more riffs and a more in your face sound. Perfectly made for sweaty venues and big crowds.
Vocalist Brad says: “The overarching theme of this song delves into our increasing dependence on smartphones. While it might come across as a complaint, I'm just as guilty as anyone else. I aimed to shed light on the diverse ways people utilise their phones, exposing the title, "Portable Terminal," as a reflection of how our phones serve as gateways to the entire world. Which, quite frankly, is terrifying! These devices have gained immense power and utility, rendering many of us reliant on them for work, information, consumption, and navigation. It's unsettling to witness how the concept of a phone has strayed far from its original purpose of communication, instead distancing people further from the real world”
Having had the main riff for the track in repertoire for years - we ask why? Creating their most compelling song to date, the band will surely be ripping apart venues if they keep putting out music like this.
