Boys Like Girls Tickets Information
Boys Like Girls
"If you develop an ear for sounds that are musical it is like developing an ego. You begin to refuse sounds that are not musical and that way cut yourself off from a good deal of experience." ~ John Cage
It's the same passion and zest for music that instigates the hearts of many to bring forth their thoughts and notions of inner self. One such display of developed acoustic sense is brought in the lime light by Boys Like Girls which is a four-piece American rock band from Andover, Massachusetts. The group topped the Top Unsigned Artist chart on Pure Volume, within a few months of their conception in late 2005. Later they completed nationwide tours with Cute Is What We Aim For, Hit the Lights and Butch Walker and in August 2006 they released their debut album.
While the on-line community precipitately crowned Boys Like Girls "2006's Fall Out Boy" album sales were less convincing. Boys Like Girls scanned a mere 1,472 units within its first week of sales, thus failing to chart the Billboard 200. However, continuous touring and promoting helped gaining the record a #179 entry into the chart in April 2007. It continued to gain popularity as the single, The Great Escape, climbed the charts and eventually peaked at #55 in August 2007.
After the re-release of the single Hero/Heroine the album jumped back up to #61 and was certified Gold shortly after. "I like to listen to music that makes me feel a certain way--either it reminds me of something important that happened or a certain time in my life," says Boys Like Girls frontman Martin Johnson. "If kids are feeling that way about our songs, I couldn't ask for anything more." Truly it's nothing but the sound of heart that stabs to be in harmony with the music and it greatly reflects the inner beats.
The Boston-area band formulating the trio of John Keefe (drums), Bryan Donahue (bass) and Paul DiGiovanni (lead guitar) is focusing on making lasting connections with its fans. Their self-titled debut disc kicks off the youthful enthusiasm of "The Great Escape" and closes with the "what's next?" sentiment. In between it is emotionally-charged rock that digs a good pop hook and certainly speaks volumes to anyone who has loved--and maybe got their heart bruised in the process.
However, it's the pure love of the fans that has gotten Boys Like Girls this far already. By the end of 2005, the guys were topping the purevolume.com New Artists chart with immense applause while gathering thousands of MySpace friends too.
Among those listening online were booking agent Matt Galle and producer Matt Squire who felt that special something in Boys Like Girls' demos. They contacted the band, thus moving ahead to working together, making plans, and friendships. They were invited to play on the national Pure Volume tour with A Thorn for Every Heart and Hit the Lights. It was an honor for the young band -- and a pleasant chance and first taste of their swelling fan base. The band took that energy and headed into the studio with Matt Squire, and the Boys Like Girls sound started to woo.
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music." ~Aldous Huxley
After finishing the album, the band had the lust to get back to the fans, thus renewing their touring with Cute Is What We Aim For and then with Butch Walker. This time the response was drastically and pleasantly unbelievable.
"There's so much emotional connection to the music, from us and the fans that it doesn't get any better than playing live. It's like we're giving them a small part of us in a three minute, little compressed package." says Johnson who is always quick to bring it back to the faces in the crowd. "Now we are able to play the songs that we perfected in the studio. It really changed the experience for us. We knew these songs were the final, real deal so we are able to give them that extra flavor live. It's amazing."
To an active listener the album plays out with the ups and downs of a new relationship, charting the story of youth, love, adventure -- and the loss and heartbreak that is sometimes a byproduct of putting yourself on the line. Energetic, emotional and real, the album progresses through the lust-for-life urgency of "Five Minutes to Midnight," energetic love anthem "Hero/Heroine" to more intense pop ballads of "Learning to Fall" and "Broken Man."
"Matt puts a lot of heart into the music he works on, and he did with ours," says Johnson. "He is really amazing at bringing stuff to another level sonically, tweaking things in just the right spots to make it perfect."
