Boys Life was/is from Kansas City, Missouri and originally formed in sometime in 1993. Their music is arguably a cross between Drive Like Jehu and Fugazi - though it's much much more. Throughout their years of playing, Boys Life developed a sound entirely their own that others have tried to copy but never nearly as great.
They released a whole lot of recordings including a split single with Secular Theme, a "Lister"/"Without Doubt" single and a split single with Giants Chair. crank! released a Boys Life / Vitreous Humor split single and then the band decided to do an album with crank!. After that, a song on the crank! "don't forget to breathe" compilation and a legend of a split 10" with Christie Front Drive, Boys Life went on down to Cargo Records to release their second full length, "Departures And Landfalls".
Where are they now?
