The Boxer Rebellion - Exits (advanced 2005)

02 May 2005 | Publisher: Mercury | Language: English

The Boxer Rebellion is the new group of producers' Alan McGee, who founded "Creation" over there at the end of the decade of the 80's, and you can not fail to mention groups. And that groups! who have gone through this label (Oasis, Boo Radleys and many others). Well in this case based on "Poptones" star and the group has is that we are talking about this one that takes the name of a Chinese movement of the nineteenth century which is said to head flew more than in any other conflict in human history.

"Exits" is an album of 10 songs that travels through a lysergic-psychedelic atmosphere, in comparison with groups such as "The Verve", "Elbow" and "The Cooper Temple Clause" and is highly enjoyable.

Fleeing his native Tennessee in 2000 at the age of 19 after the death of hismother, The Boxer RebellionÆs singer, Nathan Nicholson found himself alone inLondon. Three years later he would find himself on a life support machine withhis band about to go out on their first major tour alongside Razorlight and TheKillers.

When you come face-to-face with death it changes the way you face up things,öhe muses now. ôYou can run but you canÆt hide and I suppose this record is whatit sounds like to face all your demons and deal with your emotions.ö Indeed, TheBoxer Rebellion is the sound of a fiery battle ground.

If youÆre crying out for substance in music, The Boxer Rebellion are here tosooth your soul," Kerrang

The years in between saw a chance meeting between Nicholson and guitarist, ToddHowe, at LondonÆs 12 Bar Club soon cemented into a firm friendship. Living andwriting together, the duo caught the attention of bassist, Adam Harrison and drummer Piers Hewitt - friends from college, who completed the line-up.

In June 2003 The Boxers bolstered their way onto GlastonburyÆs New Bands tent via a Playlouder competition ahead of some unknowns called Keane. Snapped up by Alan McGee before the enormity of what they were doing had even registered, they spent months in the studio rehearsing and writing before disaster struck again for Nicholson.

Floored by stomach cramps, riders were swapped for saline drips as Nathan left behind the sweaty British tour circuit for a hospital bed and a twelve hour operation to remove a life-threatening growth from his stomach. He was lucky. The band was unlucky.

Recovery was to take up the first quarter of 2004, but the band soon regained their footing and went into the Jacobs in Surrey with Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Oceansize). If only it was that easy. With the album deadline looming, large chunks of tape were binned as the boys retreated to The Bunker in Chiswick with Mark Robinson who had done their original demos to try and capture more of their true sound. What emanated from these sessions was the raw, visceral drone rock monster they had become loved for. The ôpathological noise-rush warfare not heard since the old school mentalism of Richard Ashcroft,ö to quote NME.

With a mammoth UK tour supporting Biffy Clyro completed at the end of 2004, The Boxer Rebellion kick off 2005 on the Jim Beam Music Tour alongside The Raveonettes and Dogs.
