UNION POOL TICKETS: HERE LISTEN/WATCH & SHARE: My Wonderful Boyfriend - "My Love, My Darling" Listen | Watch PRAISE FOR MY WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND ""I'm Your Man" is billed as "equal parts 'Just What I Needed' by the Cars and 'All My Friends' by LCD Soundsystem." The five-minute track has hooks for days, a singalong power-pop anthem in its first half that gives way to a triumphant coda." -Stereogum "I covered My Wonderful Boyfriend in late 2024, when they released the very good single “My New Shirt.” The EP that followed in January, An Evening with…, was quite good and left me salivating at the thought of a MWB full-length. Who knows if that’s on the way yet, but new single “I’m Your Man” is fucking perfect. With flickers of piano calling back to LCD Soundsystem’s “All My Friends” and a vocal delivery from P.J. McCormick that’d get Stephen Malkmus humming along, “I’m Your Man” is pop rock exactly as it should be: syrupy singing, sun-dappled Jazzmasters, and a chugging, damn-near-choogling drum beat. When McCormick’s garage yawp collides with a backdrop of fizziness, My Wonderful Boyfriend play the “It’s not easy but it’s all right” conclusion like they own it. My head’s still spinning, goddamn." —Matt Mitchell -Paste "My other favorite song of the year is “I’m Your Man” by My Wonderful Boyfriend." —Grace Robbins Sommerville -Swim Into The Sound Brooklyn indie rock trio My Wonderful Boyfriend have unveiled their first release of 2026, the new single “My Love, My Darling,” earning an early cosign from Paste as part of their “Best of What’s Next” series. The band—known for their twangy, clever, and charismatic sound—continue to build momentum with a hometown headlining show set for March 6 at Union Pool. They’ll be joined by Beck Zegans and Like A Doll for the anticipated Brooklyn bill. Often compared to indie heavyweights like Pavement, Built to Spill, LCD Soundsystem, and Modest Mouse, My Wonderful Boyfriend blend offbeat charm with left-of-center alt-rock sensibilities. Paste's Matt Mitchell praised the trio’s eccentric appeal, noting that “three goofballs sojourning at alt-rock’s fringiest pageant of idiosyncrasy sounds like a good-enough party to stumble in on.” With buzz mounting and a standout new single leading the charge, My Wonderful Boyfriend are shaping up to be a band to watch in 2026. Tickets are on sale now for My Wonderful Boyfriend at Union Pool. My Love, My Darling [Lyric Video] MY WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND BIO:  My Wonderful Boyfriend is a Brooklyn rock-and-roll band with kind eyes, electable haircuts, urgent, necessary prose, the right to an attorney, a Fulltone Tube Tape Echo, and songs streaming on the internet. While P.J. McCormick (vox and guitar), Griffin Jennings (lead guitar), and Cena Loffredo (bass) all grew up in New York City, they didn’t meet until a series of unexplained atmospheric disturbances in the Midwest (Obama era) fated them together. Having elicited comparisons to Pavement, Big Star, and Built to Spill—three bands they all love—they think you ought to know some artists that divide them: Electric Light Orchestra (two for, one against), Playboi Carti (two for, one abstaining), and Sabrina Carpenter (one for, one abstaining, one against). They’re recording their debut LP.  For fans of: the YouTube bootleg of R.E.M. playing at the Capitol Theatre in June 1984, regular sneakers, Mike Judge’s slacker hit Office Space starring a young Ron Livingston, the house pilsner, guitars.   MY WONDERFUL BOYFRIEND LINKS  Instagram | YouTube | Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music
