Boxteles is a young band from West Yorkshire in the UK. In Huddersfield—nestled between the northern powerhouses of Manchester and Leeds—Boxteles has quickly grown since their inception in 2018 into a high-energy, riff-heavy rock band with a surprisingly broad sense of musicality. From solid lyrics, big melodies, and a clear vision of of the effect they want to have on the industry, Boxteles delivers an exciting and ever-evolving sound that is perfect for fans of Wolf Alice and Nothing But Thieves.

The band is gearing up for the release of "Harry & Bruce," joining their classic, Telecaster-driven rock sound with explosive performances and a yearning to stay on tour. These young music-makers have all been heavily involved in the business for years, giving them a birds-eye view of the industry and a solid sense of where their aesthetic fits into the larger landscape of pop-friendly, fist-pumping rock and roll. "Harry & Bruce" is fun, invigorating, and impeccably produced with an assist in the studio from Mike Spink.
