Review: 'BOXER REBELLION, THE'
'CODE RED'   

-  Label: 'POPTONES'
-  Genre: 'Indie' -  Release Date: '20th September 2004'

Our Rating:
The Capital's cosmopolitan and crisp indie outfit THE BOXER REBELLION has drawn personnel from America and Australia to clash in London and, in "Code Red", have produced a thoughtful number based around the Guy Garvey-esque vocals of Nathan Robertson.

The subject matter of running and indeed rushing through life is aired with help from tingling instrumentals. This nimble, yet robust and hearty number is likely to be the final release before the Boxer boys' eagerly awaited debut album hits the stores this autumn. Should the album sound as uplifting as this offering (despite its slightly dreary subject matter)? The autumn leaves will rise from the ground back to the trees, it seems.

Boxer Rebellion’s best release so far, ‘Watermelon’ has shared a disc with tunes from The Libertines, Razorlight and The Buzzcocks on ‘The Football Factory Soundtrack’ album, but this one ain't bad either. It seems like Da Rebellion has merely stepped into the ring and it's going to be a long fight. Seconds out...
