You know those neighbours who are always smiling, tireless party animals with contagious energy? That’s exactly what the English duo Good Neighbors represents, as they brilliantly demonstrated to Osheaga festivalgoers on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The name Good Neighbours may not ring a bell, but we’re willing to bet you know their song \u201cHome\u201d\u2014a huge hit released last year that propelled them to the top of the British charts. Thanks to this track, Oli Fox and Scott Verrill are now touring the globe, even before releasing a full album. Their debut album, Blue Sky Mentality<\/em>, will be released in September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accompanied by their band and armed with guitars, the two musicians let loose on stage. Wearing an orange shirt, blond hair, and a hunting cap, Oli Fox, the band’s singer, shines with his casual style. Inspired by the indie sound of the 2000s and heavily influenced by bands like Bleachers and Empire Of The Sun, Good Neighbours’ fiery music has everything it takes to awaken the crazy teenager in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking advantage of the imminent arrival of the phenomenon that is Alex Warren, the duo had a blast in front of an impressive crowd for an early afternoon show. They also took the opportunity to test out some new tracks, interspersed with their excellent \u201cRipple,\u201d \u201cDaisies,\u201d and \u201cStarry Eyed.\u201d The crowd was fully engaged, applauding them nonstop, which bodes well for the release of their first offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no doubt about it: Good Neighbours can return to London with their heads held high, feeling that they have more than conquered the Montreal audience. This was undoubtedly one of the most accomplished performances of the second day of festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
