The Boxer Rebellion by Chris Lopez
The Boxer Rebellion are planning a four-track EP release in early 2024.
The Boxer Rebellion have shared their first new song in five years.
“This is a song about love and having the perfect partner, when your relationship is in its infancy and there’s a constant adrenaline with butterflies in the stomach – the anticipation of what could be,” Nathan Nicholson has said of Powdered Sugar. “I just wanted to try and capture some of that feeling of optimism in the lyrics.”
Coming off the back of a UK and European tour, it follows the band’s 2018 album Ghost Alive – one of Live4ever’s essential picks of that year.
“There had been a long time since we had even been together much at all, let alone made music and played in the same room,” Piers Hewitt added. “A lot has happened since for all of us, but there is an unshakeable feeling of togetherness in this band when we create something new.”
Recording Powdered Sugar, and other tracks this year has been almost cathartic in one sense, but also it just felt amazing to be back in a place where we can do what we love doing all together again. And with the journey we have shared up until now it also felt like the most natural thing in the world and almost as if no time had passed at all. To create new art is a joy. To do it with brothers that you love is a privilege.
