Getting new music from Blue Oyster Cult is cool

 The other day as I was scrolling online I saw that Blue Oyster Cult released new songs.

The Symbol Remains is coming out in a couple weeks, and until then we got the first two songs and videos from the first BOC release in basically two decades.  

I had hoped we would someday get another record, and from the first two songs, I am looking forward to it even more than when I first saw it was coming.

"Box In My Head" and "It Was Me" are both classic style BOC.  There is some good energy in these tracks.  The videos show the band having fun, enough fun to invite back an old band member to rock some cowbell.

BOC was one of my top faves growing up, and their music holds up for me.  I still grab discs and give them a spin.  Over the years I have seen them a number of times, I want to say four, and they go out there and they kick out the jams to their fans.

Be cool if this record found them a new audience to go with their core.

Only a couple weeks to wait for the rest.
