One Final Boss

One Final Boss is a music project born out of watching old friends grow up and settle down while spending too much time on the internet. An indie music project based in Berlin, it is, rather appropriately, a mish-mash of folk and pop-punk. Influences can be heard from an array of vastly contrasting acts such as The Mountain Goats, The National and Silver Jews. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, always self-deprecating.

As the quarantine is slowly and unsteadily rolled back across Europe, One Final Boss are releasing their debut EP that documents the struggles of a lockdown spent in isolation. It’s COVID’s World, We’re Just Living In It is coming your way this June.

One Final Boss is the sequel to songwriter Simon Maguire’s previous Dublin based project Final Boss of My Twenties which ‘delivered a lyrical thread that is subtly raw via a vocal that melds gently with the serene jangle-pop’. That was what The Last Mixtape said of his 2017 debut single ‘Let Go’. Three years on, there’s three years of growth from everyone but himself that he can use to inspire him.
