About Me



This is also the Boileroom's 1st birthday, so it's going to be quite a party. Click the flyer for tickets. Advance booking recommended!
YOUTHMOVIES
Without doubt one of the best bands in the UK at the minute. Recently signed to Drowned In Sound, Youthmovies (previously known as Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies) are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album. They have shared stages with the likes of Biffy Clyro, Bloc Party, Hope Of The States, !Forward, Russia!, Death Cab For Cutie and 65daysofstatic. Expect huge post-rock, post-hardcore madness.
'Brilliantly ramshackle art-punk', NME
'Like a post-hardcore brainstorming session on where music should go next', Steve Lamacq
JONQUIL
Having just released their debut LP on Try Harder, this sprightly bunch have played their peculiar brand of 'folk-hop' with the likes of A Silver Mt Zion, Tilly & The Wall, Adem and A Hawk And A Hacksaw.
'Achingly perfect', Drowned In Sound
ADAM GNADE
Hailing from 'Virginia, Kansas, Portland, San Diego', Adam Gnade is the 21st century inheritor of Jack Kerouac's crown. Expect gripping narratives that chronicle modern American life, told through his unique 'talking songs'.
'A fascinating prospect', Beat Mag
