Editorial Reviews

The Boxer Rebellion self-released UNION digitally while still in day jobs. By the end of 2009, iTunes hailed Union their 'Alternative Album of the Year.'

In an unprecedented move, The Boxer Rebellion are taking the 'new-radio' of film and TV syncs to another level altogether, by performing 2 tracks from UNION live in a major motion picture. Opening nationally this summer in 3,500 screens "Going the Distance" stars Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Christina Applegate, and will put The Boxer Rebellion in front of millions of moviegoers throughout the United States and the world.

Hailed by music blogs and industry pundits as a band spearheading a wholly independent and innovative approach to releasing records, The Boxer Rebellion will be appearing live across the US from mid- September in support of the Union album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown away by the Boxer Rebellion, September 13, 2009

This review is from: Union (Audio CD)

So, I've only had the CD for 1/2 day (it's actually released tomorrow in the UK), but in the interest of fairness this album is as solid a candidate for a 5* release as you'll hear all year. Great songs, great vocals and great guitar work (with a distinctive 70's feel) all contribute to what must be one of the best albums of the year. No song by song analysis this review, others will offer that I'm sure, but if you're looking for something which works from the get go, and which has sustainability, this is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars powerful but fragile, epic post-rock, November 4, 2010

By 

Charlie Quaker "The Quaker Goes Deaf" (Normal, IL.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Union (Audio CD)

The 2nd album from this London band is big, expansive, building post-rock/pop with epic
explosions of melodic brilliance. Guitars soar skyward, eventually roaring with pent-up emotions;
while vocals glide with precarious precision through a radiant combination of power & fragility.
Recalls Radiohead, Airborne Toxic Event, Twilight Sad, Verve, Six By Seven, The Domino Theory,
Chameleons.

Soaring rock album that is one of the best I've heard...period. Actually, one of my favorite bands right now. With a much more masculine sounding voice like Brian from Placebo, and much greater band all together, but I can hear some comparisons. Maybe even, dare I say some comparisons to Sugor Ros. If you blended, perhaps the Bends from Radiohead and anything from the Verve you'd get The Boxer Rebellion. And, to me, that is some amazing company.
