Supongamos que el inminente " Trouble Will Find Me " de The National se hubiera filtrado hace cosa de una semana, más o menos. Pongámonos ahora (es un decir) en el improbable caso de que ya hubiéramos tenido ocasion de escucharlo, y de comprobar que la banda originaria de Ohio sigue en plena forma: este es del disco que han adelantado " Demons " y " Sea Of Love ", sí, pero seguramente hay otras canciones (¿" Humiliation "?) entre las 13 del lote que levantan un nuevo monumento a la melancolía, a la altura de las cimas alcanzadas por [...]
Over the course of their first three albums, London's The Boxer Rebellion have tweaked the sound of what their bio refers to as "grand ambition" to find critical acceptance while building upon their staunchly D.I.Y. indie strategy. This is, it should be noted, the first band to break into the U.S. Top 100 albums chart for their breakout album Union without a physical CD release. But after tapping high-cred producer Ethan Johns for their dark, more organic-based The Cold Still, The Boxers have pretty much embraced their inner arena-rock gloss for their new aptly [...]

By Rob Crozier May 16, 2013 The Boxer Rebellion ’s Promises is the band's fourth studio album. This is an international four piece that has formed a formidable indie rock outfit. They've been labelled as Oasis meets Radiohead via Coldplay . Indeed, these are huge claims to aspire to and we're sure the band would dismiss them, because this album sees them attempt to carve out their own style and sound. The comparisons, however, are evident within this new album, [...]
The Boxer Rebellion have created something special with ‘Promises and a lot of time and effort has obviously been poured into the making of this album. Would be great to see it get heard by the wider audience it richly deserves. By Geoff Topley
Tweet At SGTMT HQ we've had a spate of frightening incidents involving Moonlight Shadow (the Mike Oldfield song, not the actual shadow of the moon, though that might make more sense...). First Tom got buried under a mountain of vinyl for a week , A WEEK, whilst trying to locate his copy of the aforementioned record (true story); and then we discovered a Turkish cover version of the song and blogged it (sorry) which nearly ruined our once prestigious reputation. So the last few days we've been in a state of [...]
This is just what it sounds like when it’s done right; an indie rock record by those lately dearly missed lads after coming back around the block, two years older and two years wiser – still making bombastic, swaggering, melancholic rock music. But listen closer. This time they are subtly more perceptive, in composure, mainly The post The Boxer Rebellion - Promises appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

A fortnight ago The Boxer Rebellion posted the first snippet of their new album, Promises , in the form of the achingly wonderful, slow-burning 'Diamonds' - one of our favourite tracks of the year so far. Well, now we have more. Featuring shimmering guitars and Nathan Nicholson's soaring falsetto this is arena-sized stuff without the cliche. 'Keep Moving' is a trip and - much like 'Diamonds' before it - will leave you in something of a state by the time it's built up to its climax in the closing 90 seconds. So that's [...]
New material for all fans of British indie rock band THE BOXER REBELLION - the group now shared Keep Moving, the second track from their upcoming album Promises, with us.

LessThan3: Do you have any upcoming surprises this year? Maybe a new music video or tour? Julian: There will be another music video, and one or two more singles. We will definitely be touring. LessThan3: You guys are from Australia. What's your favorite venue there? Julian: There are so many. The Enmore Theatre in Sydney is a pretty rocking venue, but they're all good. We've done some of our best shows in some of the shiftiest venues and some of our worst shows in [...]

The Boxer Rebellion's last album, 20112s The Cold Still , saw the group gravitate towards the very edge of the mainstraim without ever quite falling in. It's epic minor-chord indie rock captured many. They're back this year with new album Promises , and have today enveiled it's first single, 'Diamonds', a tender, burning epic. Again, singer Nathan Nicholson's emotive vocal carries the track, which twists and turns in on itself in way reminiscent of The National's Boxer . Diamonds is the first single taken from The Boxer Rebellion's 4th studio album, [...]

One of the beautiful things about music, all music, is the tangled web of one genre’s evolution into another over time and space . Sometimes though that evolution moves quickly, and the force of a few people smash sonic forms together. It’s fitting then that Josh Friend fronts a band whose debut Album is titled Evolution Theory . He and his brother Tony along with their their friends Nick and Matthew are Modestep . Defying genre, they are rock/dubstep/metal/soul/electr o musicians and they do not shy away from experimenting; both with the content of [...]

The Boxer Rebellion shower us with "Diamonds". There's some U2-like promise behind The Boxer Rebellion's new single, "Diamonds". The song is the first single from the band's forthcoming album, Promises. Please, guys, all...
Género: New wave, pop. Era tanto el buenrollismo del momento, que canciones tan almibaradas como The Promise de los británicos When in Rome calaron hasta en las pieles de cuero curtido. La escucho hoy desde la distancia del tiempo, percibo esos tic tan comerciales, y me pregunto como me pudo gustar tanto. Eso no quita que apetezca escucharla. Al menos a mi. Espero que a tí también.

This week’s First Signs Of Love track is ’21, Promises’ by Jacko Hooper , a delicate ode to musical aspirations. “I want to live on the stage, so I can buy you a house one day, I know it seems far away, but I mean these words I say.” A s the song progresses it appears this journey is not going to be without it’s challenges, his impassioned vocals soar and elevate this song to become something truly very special.

Once upon a time, in the golden days of our youth, there was the Emo phenomenon. Remember those days? The days of eyeliner, sadness and men wearing women’s jeans (ok, that still happens). The days when the only songs lining our brick-like iPods expressed the deep emotional and existential angst we were experiencing. Those days were awesome. We decided to get nostalgic and relive our emo-kid past with a 20 Fave list. We laid some ground rules for the list to make sure it didn’t become the 20 Weezer , Fugazi and Cursive songs list [...]
The VPME London based quartet The Cellophane Flowers début album 'Staring at the World' could arguably have been released at any point during the last twenty years. It's an enthralling mix of female fronted, occasionally quirky, indie pop garnished with some interesting psyche flourishes, and it manages to pull off the trick of sounding familiar yet paradoxically vibrant and fresh. Opening with the haunting jangling beauty of 'Voices', replete with Francesca Corradini's plaintive accented vocal which occasionally has a slight Tina Lattanzi performing Marlene Dietrich ring to it, it's an [...]
