▐▓███████▓▓ "The Boxer Rebellion û This is why you need ▓▓███████▓▌
▓▓███████▓▓ music... Hoo-bloody-ray, this gentle psychedelic ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ debut recalls an early Verve. It's a rare breath ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ of fresh air" - The Fly ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ When is a revolution not a revolution? When itÆs ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ a brittle little fad, a patent unoriginal rehash ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ with no staying power other than to be testament ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ to the hyping power of the British media. The ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Boxer Rebellion then, are not a garage rock ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ band. No, their brand of emotional ferocity and ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ confessional wistfulness posses a chilling ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ beauty, with a memorable intensity many current ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ cover 'stars' could only dream of. ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Hailing from London via America and Australia, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ the four piece of Nathan Nicholson ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ (vocals/guitar), Todd Howe (lead guitar), Adam ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ Harrison (bass) and Piers Hewitt (drums) charge ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ with a lingering inimitability. A sound of all ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ their own, melodies to chill and melt your ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ heart, mixed in with hard warring rock ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ sensibilities to blind you in their psychedelic ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ stone shower. ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ It's guitar music, yes, but its fresh and new ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ sounding. People seem to have forgotten that ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ blatantly ripping off old music and getting away ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ with it because you're ægetting new music fans ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ into yesterday's classics is bullshit. We have ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ our AC/DC and Buzzcocks compilations thanks very ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ much. The Boxer Rebellion take their ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ wide-ranging influences and stick them where the ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ sun shines, where the heavens part and when the ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ storms gather. Sometimes serenely pretty, ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ sometimes extremely thunderous. Always vital. ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ The majesty of the set up is the songs at the ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ heart of it all. With a beautifully sweeping ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ falsetto carry the melody, the chaotic ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ turbulence of the choruses to 'Watermelon', and ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ 'In Pursuit' with their multilayered ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ intricacies, are brilliantly juxtaposed against ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ sweeping, dreamy verses. Named after an early ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ twentieth century Chinese uprising, they offer ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ no contrived hype or unwanted social ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ commentaries, just the spellbinding power to ▓▓███████▓▓
▓▓███████▓▓ open your jaw and widen your eyes. ▓▓███████▓▓
