Raw, gritty, and unapologetically British, Bosola are a three piece alternative rock outfit from Newcastle that bring to life powerful and washed over guitar melodies alongside existential lyricism to make for the kind of authentic and melodic rock and roll we would have once experienced through groups like Manic Street Preachers in the 90s. There’s something so innately nostalgic about Bosola that has you feeling like you’re reliving glory days and reminiscing better times on each piece they put out.
‘Ophelia Headstrong’ is definitely one of the group’s most powerful and majestic pieces. Defiantly punk rock, the tune delves into the incredibly difficult conflict we all face while trying to chase our dreams in the wake of everything else in life bearing down on us. Written from two perspectives, from one of envy and another of support, the song ends on a chorus of celebration of strong willed women.
It’s uniquely eloquent and powerful in its messaging and its melody.
