BOY KILL BOY – STARS AND THE SEA


(AU magazine May 2008)

(UNIVERSAL)

Despite reacting angrily against accusations of ‘emo’, this London
four piece have not done a terrible amount to dispel the vicious rumour
with this, their second long-playing outing.
Opener ‘Promises’ has the requisite balance of angst for any
self-respecting rocker, but it’s shot through with a tunefulness that
continues in single ‘No Conversation’ and highlight ‘Rosie’s On
Fire’.
On the one hand, for a young rock band from England, there’s not a lot
to set Boy Kill Boy apart from the crowd, but it’s to their credit that
they make an immediate impression on even the most casual of listeners.
