The Ordinary Boys are an English ska/rock group from Worthing. They were originally known as Next in Line.
The band is heavily influenced by the Mod Revival, Britpop, and various 1980s English bands. They have successfully built a large and loyal army of fans known as "The Ordinary Army".
Its members are Samuel Preston, who likes to be known as Preston, (vocals, guitar), William J. Brown (guitar), James Gregory (bass), and Simon Goldring (drums), who replaced Charles "Chuck" Stanley in 2005. Their influences include The Smiths (their name comes from a Morrissey song), The Jam, The Clash, and The Specials (a cover of the song "Little Bitch" appeared on their debut album, and singer Terry Hall appeared in the video for "Seaside") amongst other groups. Among their non-English influences are The Ramones, and they occasionally perform covers of their songs live.
