The Boxer Rebellion - Watermelon - CD (2003)

Labels: Poptones
Review by: Andy Malcolm

What is a boxer rebellion? Maybe a horde of boxers, led by Herbie Hide (who m’ good

friend Matthew once tried to sell a lady’s dress to at a car boot sale) going nuts and

refusing to fight ever again. That would be entirely more entertaining than this band

who, lets be frank, are pretty guff. They are playing a vaguely gothic version of

grunge, it has guitars, shit vocals, drums, keyboards and bass, a thin 80s style

recording, and ooh, it’s so dark. Fuck off. I threw this away after 1 song and 1

minute of the second track.
