Boys Like Girls

小簡介 來自波士頓的Boys Like Girls，自2005年底組軍到發行首張主流廠專輯短短不到一年光景，實在羨煞許多極欲成名出頭的新生代團體，除了靠著精湛現場演出實力外，創作水準以及深厚樂器彈奏基礎，都是他們迅速致勝關鍵。當創作力旺盛的主唱/吉他手Martin Johnson手邊有許多歌曲想找機會錄制時，遇上貝斯手Bryan Donahue、主奏吉他手Paul DiGiovanni以及鼓手John Keefe等三人，彼此對音樂有著相同理念，很快將Boys Like Girls組裝完成。 by Corey Apar Unafraid to wear their heart on their collective sleeve, Boston-based pop/rock outfit Boys Like Girls feature singer/guitarist Martin Johnson, bassist Bryan Donahue, drummer John Keefe, and guitarist Paul DiGiovanni (the last two being cousins). After Boys Like Girls posted some early demos online, the band's catchy hooks and youthful enthusiasm had gathered them quite a following by 2005's end, while also catching the attention of industry players like booking agent Matt Galle (My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday) and producer Matt Squire (Panic! at the Disco, Northstar), who both contacted the band about working together. Following a national PureVolume-sponsored tour with Hit the Lights and A Thorn for Every Heart, Boys Like Girls entered the studio with Squire to record their debut album. The resulting self-titled effort appeared in August 2006 on Red Ink.
