Biography

London, United Kingdom (2001 – present)

International Anglophone band comprising American Nathan Nicholson, Australian Todd Howe and Englishmen Adam Harrison and Piers Hewitt; together they deliver a mixture of raucous bass-heavy grooves, alternately fragile and explosive vocals, and melodic indie/alternative sounds. So far the band have released “The Boxer Rebellion” EP (in 2003), “Code Red” and “In Pursuit” (in 2004), and the “Exits” LP (in 2005). A limited edition vinyl of “Evacuate” preceded by a year their new and second LP “Union” , released on January 11th, 2009 exclusively through iTunes, along with a worldwide re-release of “Exits”.

In 2000, Nathan Nicholson left Tennessee, America after the death of his mother, and came to London. The band formed in 2001 through a chance meeting at London’s 12 Bar Club between vocalist Nathan and guitarist Todd. This quickly cemented into a firm friendship which resulted in them living and writing together. College friends Adam and Piers, were soon intrigued, and completed the line-up. All shared common influences, and a passion for epic, escapist music - The Boxer Rebellion was born.

In June 2003, after funding and releasing their own limited edition self-titled EP (The Boxer Rebellion, they bolstered their way onto ’s New Bands tent, and were soon snapped up by ’s Poptones label, who put out first single Watermelon in the same year. Before the enormity of what they were doing had even registered, the Boxers spent months in the studio rehearsing and writing, before disaster struck for Nicholson, and riders and roadies were swapped for a hospital bed and saline drips.
