Boy Kill Boy formed in 2004 and from there things moved pretty quickly. Lined up by Chris Peck (vocals/guitar), Kev Chase (bass), Pete Carr (keyboards) and Shaz (drums), they were the first band ever to play at Wireless Festival, played several dates on the NME New Bands tour, opened the Radio 1 stage at the Reading & Leeds festival, and toured with Hard-Fi. All that and a couple of singles on Fierce Panda later, the band signed to Vertigo Records.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster, with a top 30 single in “Back Again”, a top 20 single in “Suzie” , tours with Echo & the Bunnymen and The Charlatans in the US, another NME New Bands tour (as headliners this time), a session with Jo Whiley for the Radio 1 Live Lounge, another slot at Reading and Leeds festival and even an appearance on Top of The Pops.

The first album, Civilian, recorded in Sawmills with producer John Cornfield was released in May 2006, reaching 16 in the UK charts.

Album 2, Stars And The Sea, was recorded in LA with Dave Sardy. The band toured extensively around the UK, including appearances at both V Festival and Camden Crawl.

After a whirlwind few years the band called it a day in late 2008, citing label issues.
