Boys Like Girls, the iconic pop rock band that defined a generation, are back with a new single, "Blood and Sugar" (Fearless / Concord Records), their first new music release since 2012. The song is available on all major streaming platforms with an official music video streaming now on the band’s YouTube channel.
"Blood and Sugar" is a raw and honest portrayal of the human experience, exploring the theme of indulging in something bad for you, despite knowing the consequences. As Martin, the band's lead singer, explains, "Thematically the song is fairly simple, an empty calorie relationship that's so delicious you don’t care. You’re willing to deal with the crash. It continues to beat you down yet you keep coming back for more pain…almost like you’ve learned to love it. Why this obsession? We’re only skin and bone. Humans. Just blood and sugar, really. I think everyone has an infatuation with something bad for them. Cigarettes. Sports gambling. Porn. Internet validation. Pills that change the way you feel. Buying too many shoes. I know I spend a lot of time trying to fill the empty hole where drugs used to be. I spend most of the time trying to fill that hole with “perfection.” But in the end…nobody's perfect. Hey. we’re only blood and sugar, right?"
