Behind the Lost Boy ? moniker, Brooklyn-based rocker/guitarist Davey Jones draws a character from tales of the late ‘60s through the early ‘90s in Lower Manhattan and Downtown LA. Inspired by memoirs, literature, and music from this era, Lost Boy ? tells the story from this retro vantage point exploring the trials, tribulations, and sounds of the Sex, Drugs, & Rock N Roll era. Today, he’s back with a new record titled Paranoid Fiction.
Jones’ grizzled vocals, paired with rattling guitar licks, make for a truly vintage sound beholden to ’70s garage rock. Each track plays like it’s been dipped in whiskey. On Paranoid Fiction, Lost Boy ? hones the ability to write sticky melodies that are equal parts aggressive and fun; Jones rips through 13 tracks and keeps you in the palm of his hand the whole time.
