Bio 


Bobaflex is known as one of the hardest working bands in the country. Renowned for their high energy live shows and relentless touring, the band gained major label attention and was quickly snatched up by TVT records in 2005. They released their major label debut album that year Apologize for Nothing and secured a loyal following by touring with metal gods Megadeth, Mudvayne and Sevendust.



From Point Pleasant West Virginia, Bobaflex was formed in 1998 by brothers Shaun and Marty McCoy. The brothers are no strangers to the press, having ancestral ties to the most infamous family feud in American history, between the Hatfields and the McCoys which almost caused a war between the states of West Virginia and Kentucky in the 1880s. The band’s name was inspired by the bounty hunter Boba Fett from Star Wars.



In 2007 Bobalex released their album, Tales from Dirt Town and surprised the industry with their smash single, “Home.” The song appeared with a bullet on the Billboard charts, but was stopped at #40 when fate struck and the band’s label TVT declared bankruptcy. The masters along with the bands recording rights were seized by the bank. However, Bobaflex weathered the storm and toured to fund a 2 year legal battle until they were free.



In that tumultuous time the band wrote their new album, Hell in my Heart. Released August 30th, 2011, the first single “Bury Me With My Guns” is already hitting the radio airwaves. Vocalist/ guitarist Martin Mccoy sums up the bands feelings to date ” We’ve been through a war just trying to play our music. We put it all into this record and its the most real and best sounding to date. We’re at the top of our game live, and with this new record.”
