For an unsigned band, The Boxer Rebellion don’t hang around.
The digital release of ‘Union’ saw them top iTunes download charts in the UK and US and outsell Coldplay and Kings of Leon for a brief period. This physical release will see the band move into the public eye proper, their Coldplay sized songs clearly designed to reduce Stadia to rubble with frontman Nathan Nicholson literally back from the brink, having spent time seriously ill on life support since their Poptones debut album in 2005.
Keen to maintain their digital connection with fans, ‘Union’ comes with access to online content including music lessons from the band, commentary and exclusive downloads.
