Calpurnia is a new young band fronted by Stranger Things’ breakout star Finn Wolfhard. The Canadian quartet released their debut EP, Scout, earlier this month and “City Boy” was the first taste we got of it. The catchy, jangly track comes with a video of Wolfhard and his bandmates Malcolm Craig (drums), Ayla Tesler-Mabe (vocals, guitars) and Jack Anderson (bass) goofing around in the studio with Twin Peaks’ Cadien Lake James, who produced Scout. Catch Calpurnia at the Neptune Theatre on Tuesday, July 24.
