Boy Kill Boy
Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOY : Boy Kill Boy
Boy Kill Boy are an English rock band based in Leytonstone, East London. The band name came from the lead singer mishearing the name of a band called "Boy Called Roy".
In May 2005 they released their debut single "Suzie" for record label Fierce Panda. In the summer the band opened the Radio 1 stage on Sunday/Friday of the 2005 Reading and Leeds Festivals. The second single followed later in the year now being signed to Fallout. "Civil Sin" was featured in Zane Lowe's "Hottest Track In The World Today". In 2006 the Vertigo single "Back Again" (released on 13 February) reached #26 in the UK Singles Chart and the re-release of "Suzie" on 16 May reached #17. The debut album "Civilian" was released on 22 May 2006 and entered the UK Album Chart at #16.
One of their major breaks came in May 2005 when the band stepped in to replace Nine Black Alps on the NME New Music Tour 2005 after the band's singer caught the mumps. Boy Kill Boy had only been billed to play one support slot on the whole tour but ended up playing numerous extra slots supporting Maximo Park and The Rakes. They return this year as headliners for NME's New Bands Tour 2006, supported by The Automatic, ¡Forward, Russia!, and The Long Blondes. They are currently in the US supporting The Charlatans and have announced a UK tour in October. "Suzie" appeared on the game FIFA Street 2
