Boswalos

The group Boswalos are a Toronto based alternative indie rock band, who have been playing throughout Ontario and the surrounding areas for the past few years, are attracting new fans along the way. During this time, the group has performed at some of the most prestigious venues affiliated with live music such as, The Horshoe Tavern, The Opera House, Lee’s Palace, Red’s Entertainment Complex, and the Legendary CBGB’s in New York City. In addition to performing, Boswalos has come to establish themselves as one of the “must-see” live acts around.
Capturing their live presence on record was something the band had strived to achieved. Early spring of 2005 brought the band into the Pocket Studios, (Mike Turner - Our Lady Peace, Trevor Kustiak - Evans Blue), to record a 3 song demo. This work would start the ball rolling for the band and eventually lead to a nomination in the best rock category at the Toronto Independent Music Awards. In the fall of 2005, the band entered Sony Music studio Megawatt to record the track “Under Black Lights” under producer Haydain Neale of the band Jacksoul, and finished at number 1 on garageband.com for best original song. Still longing for something bigger, Boswalos would eventually finish writing for what would become the bands debut EP entitled “Boswalos” in the fall of 2006. Ryan A. Mills, (The Arcade Fire, The Most Serene Republic), worked with some of the most respected indie bands in the Toronto area, and took on the task of capturing the live sound of Boswalos. In the end the record sounded raw, organic, real and was applauded by fans and critics alike.
Almost immediately after it’s release, the band were offered to showcase for the annual MusicNL ceremony in Newfoundland, and later be offered to shared the award show stage with some of the most respected east coast performers ever. The response to the newly recorded EP began to amplify. Songs were added to college/community/commercial radio in Canada, the US, Europe, and Australia as interviews poured in. Boswalos sat down with CJAD Radio in Montreal, as well as 2 interviews with CBC’s Radio 3, to talk about the press that was surrounding them. In December 2006 the band were the featured artist for the month on Twirl Radio in Sacramento CA, and took the opportunity to talk on air about the Canadian sound. CD reviews came very well received. Twirl radio hailed the record as “important music...mini anthems”, Lucid Forge claimed “I’m now hooked on Boswalos” and Socan events called them “local heroes”. Early in the new year, the band was featured 3 times in 2 of the most prominent east coast music magazines, the Newfoundland Herald and OnReel Magazine respectfully.
Currently, Boswalos are getting ready for the summer. The band are in talks to perform at some of the most popular festivals in Canada to which will no doubt, will be a corner stone in capturing the imaginations of audiences everywhere.
