Indie Accoutic Project Finalist 2008
The Boy Bands Have Won was selected as a finalist in the Indie Acoustic Project’s “Best CDs of 2008” awards in the Best Lyrics category. The selection process was both heartening and difficult:the IAP was privileged to experience multitudes of outstanding CDs, but were only able to award recognition to the top 45 (3 CDs in each of 15 categories).
They have listed the finalists on their website at www.indieacoustic.com,
and will be sending out press releases announcing the finalists within a
week. The winners in each category will be selected and announced by
April 30, and award certificates will be mailed by June 1st.
With The Boy Bands Have Won, Chumbawamba are back, armed with acoustic guitars, accordion and trumpet, five-part harmonies, a bucketful of attitude and a new 25-track album.
Chumbawamba began with a mission to be interesting and arresting, to be literate and understanding. The new album is a collection of such ideas; some are just passing thoughts, others are fully-formed songs.

Reviews:
“We should be grateful for the Chumbas. Moving on from that anarchic post-punk phase and the bestselling single “Tubthumping”, they have eased across to the folk scene and reinvented themselves yet again—this time as a classy, low-key harmony band writing inventive, intelligent songs.” —Robin Denselow, The Guardian (UK)
