In June 2003, after funding and releasing their own limited edition self-titled EP, they bolstered their way onto Glastonbury's New Bands tent, and were soon snapped up by Alan McGee's Poptones label, who put out first single Watermelon in the same year. All shared common influences, and a passion for epic, escapist music - The Boxer Rebellion was born. College friends Adam and Piers, were soon intrigued, and completed the line-up. This quickly cemented into a firm friendship which resulted in them living and writing together.

The band formed in 2001 through a chance meeting at London's 12 Bar Club between vocalist Nathan and guitarist Todd. In 2000, Nathan Nicholson left Tennessee, America after the death of his mother, and came to London. Packed live performances show that TBR have amassed a solid fanbase, and one forgiving of the long waits between releases.

Indie/alternative band comprising American Nathan Nicholson, Australian Todd Howe and Englishmen Adam Harrison and Piers Hewitt together they deliver a mixture of raucous bass-heavy grooves, alternately fragile and explosive vocals, and melodic sounds.
