The Boom Boom’s A Million Miles: Review

The Boom Booms is an indie soul band from Vancouver BC.  comprises six members, brothers Aaron Ross (lead vocals) and Sean Ross (keys), Tom Van Deursen (guitar), Geordie Hart (bass), and Theo Vincent (drums).   Many critics have praised them for their alternative souls, and they played on the biggest stages in Canada including, Toronto Jazz Fest, TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, and Salmon Arms Roots & Blues.  It’s been three years since the Boom Booms’ sophomore album, Love Is Overdue, was released. Do their  3rd record albums, “A Million Miles” stack up to their past albums? Quite well.

With tremendous energy and killer lyrics, The Boom Booms’ newest album is amazing. I especially enjoyed the last song on the album, “I am”.

When asked about the theme of the album, Aaron Ross said in an interview, ““For me a lot of the album is about saying goodbye. Letting go. Moving on. Everyone will interpret the songs in different ways of course but I just felt the need to unpack certain things. Like I was emotionally pent up, you know? And I’m too cheap for therapy so I pick up the guitar. This album was about wrapping up all those emotions and putting them down, moving on into the next chapter.”
