Advantages: A decent debut album that mixes Folk and rock superbly Disadvantages: He still hasn't got the radio play he deserves
...press since the release of Chronicles of A Bohemian Teenager and from the first listen it isn’t exactly hard to see why he is garnishing such a reputation. In truth since the release of the album back in September 2006, he should really have gotten more radio play.
With a wide range of influences from the likes of Lemon Jelly and Blur to At The Drive In, Duckworth draws his influences from a wide range of genres. With the debut album recorded in ... ...the verge of is quite an achievement. Having taken his bands name from a Computer game magazine it adds to the mystery around the band and with such an unusual name, ensures he will be an artist you won’t forget in a hurry. A range of influences that diverse and with a list of favourite bands that include Green Day and Athlete it was a safe bet that GCWCF were going to be a band I’d like. I personally came across them during Reading festival last ...

...lyrical content of track 3, Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager Part two is perhaps my favourite on the entire album. It is one of the most heart breaking songs that you may ever hear and I consider it one of the strongest tracks on the entire album.
I Spy is probably the most well known track on the album except for the closing track Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager Part One. Both of these tracks are full of melodic beats and soulful lyrics that ... ...Very High Praise Indeed! "And this song is more, than the self indulgant rantings, closure for the times that have let you down, you know I need you around" is one of my favourite songs on the entire album and can be found in its closing track, it really is a touching song despite the memories it brings back to me of the happiness and times spent singing it with my friends!
Lighthouse Keeper , War Of The Worlds and Get Cape Wear Cape Fly are the ...

Advantages: Some excellent acoustic music intelligently written and crafted. Disadvantages: The production is not always as fine as it possibly could be.
...really. Released in 2006, 'The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager' is his début album and consists of twelve excellent tracks. Many times I have listened to this album, it is not the best in the world but a good one nonetheless.
For me this album is containing of some obvious highlights. The tracks 'I-Spy', 'Whitewash Is Brainwash', and 'The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager (Part Two)' for instance have a distinctly long lasting impact on me and ... ...the sorts of tracks that I can never quite dislodge from my mind, no matter how much I'd like to at times. The music is laid back acoustic Indie with elements of folk rock, it is greatly effective in its approach and is music that you can really relax to. 'Whitewash Is Brainwash' is a particular favourite of mine, of the three named it is most definitely my favourite and is in fact my favourite Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly track to date. With a new album ...

...and mainstream friendly melody, 'The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager' is the kind of album that leaves the competition in its wake. When you've got tracks like 'I Spy' there's no need to pretend your good, the song speaks for itself with its mellow guitar and soulful lyrics, 'War Of The Worlds' is the other epic song on this album with its simple but elegant rytham. The songs arent just heart wrenching or tear jerking, they are purely inspirational.
... ...dissappointed. 'Whitewash Is Brainwash' and 'Call Me Ishmael' hardly need an introduction, They make the album what it is rather than being the songs that would fill up any mediocore bands album. 'The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager' is fast becoming the Billy Bragg of this millenium. ...

12. The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager (Part Two)
Fantastic lyrics in both these songs, and track 12 really gets you up and dancing & reminising about old times with your friends (well it did for me).
The album cover notes are very well constructed with various cut outs being used to display the lyrics.
You should definately invest in this great piece of work & one of the best albums of 2006. ...
