London-based indie-rock quartet The Boxer Rebellion is pleased to announce the release of its fourth full-length album titled Promises. Released today through the band's own label, Absentee Recordings, Promises is the uplifting and cinematic follow-up to the band's critically-acclaimed The Cold Still and was produced in conjunction with notable producer Billy Bush in Los Angeles. Led by the album's powerful lead single, "Diamonds," a song the band will perform live both on KCRW's Morning Become Eclectic on Friday, June 7 and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday, June 14, Promises is available for purchase in stores and through all digital retailers worldwide now.
In addition to the release of the new album, the Promises North American tour will see the band's immense live show re-worked from the ground-up, starting in Montreal on May 21 and hitting numerous cities for the first time ever, including Edmonton, Calgary, and Pittsburgh. The band will also play Neptune, Seattle (6/2); Fillmore, San Francisco (6/5); Avalon, Los Angeles (6/7); Metro, Chicago (6/15); and Webster Hall, NYC (6/20). A complete list of tour dates is below. The Boxer Rebellion has also announced its largest UK headline show to date, a performance at the legendary venue The Forum on October 11. Tickets for the upcoming tour are now on sale.
The Boxer Rebellion took to their London rehearsal space and transformed it into a recording studio where the songs for Promises would eventually come together over the last 18 months. Moving away from the more analog and darker soundscapes that enveloped the band's previous album, Promises is a significant step in a different direction for the London four-piece - a hi-fi, soaring piece of work that truly delivers on the band's epic, signature sound, and individual skill as musicians. From the retro-glossiness of the album's opener, "Diamonds," to the wall-of-sound that is "Fragile," to the towering beauty of "Low," "New York" (recently featured on Grey's Anatomy), and "Dream" (featured last week on The Vampire Diaries), Promises presents itself as an evolution in aesthetic - diverse in soundscapes but singular in grand ambition - for a band that continues to push and explore its creative ability with each new release.
The Boxer Rebellion will be making the following North American appearances throughout May and June. Tour dates below.

Did you know that?
Prior to forming Paramore, Haley Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis took part in a funk cover band called The Factory, while the Farro brothers had practiced together after school. The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them and it eventually worked out.
