With millions of online streams to their name, you might assume Salt Lake City indie-rock band Blue Rain Boots has been gigging for decades. Although they shroud their jarring lyricism with sophisticated – yet friendly – riffs, you couldn’t be more wrong in that assumption; in fact, frontman and lead singer Simon Griffen is just eighteen-years-old. Completely independent, the band is an anomaly, having casually played alongside their genre’s juggernauts (Ritt Momney, Death Cab For Cutie, and The National Parks). Garnering fans around the world, Simon P, Simon G, Carter, and Brecken have sold out hometown shows at an unprecedented rate.
