If you had taken a poll a few years ago, when PEI was spitting out awesome young bands like they were some new form of hybrid potato (a PEI/potato ref, unexpected right?), around which band would end up having the most interesting body of work over their career, the winner would likely have been Boxer The Horse. Maybe. I mean if you asked us, it likely would have, as ever since they ethered a loudmouth brah at a hill-related HPX showcase, we’ve had a soft-spot for these guys.
Their debut full-length album, Would You Please, bore that out as well, as they produced a textured album that melded their old-school influences with a modern sound. Well BTH is back, set to release their new album, French Residency, on March 3rd. If the crunchy first single, Rattle Your Cage is any indication, they’ve taken their cues from a much more riff-tastic era this time around, and the results sound good so far.
