This week only, you can pick up the EP on BandCamp and Reveille Records' Web-store for only $4!

 

Here are some reviews that have came in:

"Boxer and Eyes Wide up the ante with three tracks each and this represents another one of those times, when you go in with no real expectations, only to be blown away by the sheer power of the album. Each band offer something with so much emotional tissue and connectivity in this untitled split, that it'll surely be on repeat for a little longer than you'd initially anticipate. It has that strong sense of urgency in its musical push." 4.5/5 from Punknews.org

 

"Boxer and Eyes Wide, as an end result these two acts bring to the table a beautifully crafted split that holds true to their influences, along with signifying a progressive sound to call their own." 4/5 Easycore.net

 

You can also stream the full EP over at Rock Sound Magazine.

Yes, Captives and the Boxer/Eyes Wide Split will be coming out on vinyl this year. More news coming on all of that probably within the next couple of weeks.

And if you haven't yet check out the last vinyl release from This Is Your Life. It's a must have for any fan I melodic punk.

 

This past Fall, Boxer (Richmond, VA) teamed up with Eyes Wide (Hollidaysburg, PA)  to record a split EP. Boxer enlisted the help of Will Yip (Title Fight, Balance & Composure) for recording while Eyes Wide collaborated with Vince Ratti (Tigers Jaw, The Wonder Years) and the end result is a mind melting mix of melodic hardcore and 90s alternative rock.

 

This marks the second release from Boxer after debuting their EP Undertow on Reveille Records in 2012 and the first batch of new material from Eyes Wide since 2011. The album ranges from moody angst ridden jams like Boxer’s “Weight” to the gloomy passion of Eyes Wide’s “Gem.” Each band is showcasing three new songs which represents the current direction that both bands are embarking on.

 

On May 7th, 2013 the split will be released digitally (iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3) and on CD via Reveille Records. You can PRE-ORDER the album here.

+We're hoping to get this out on vinyl by the end of the Summer, so if you dig it please pick up a copy on CD or at least download it from iTunes so that we can make sure that happens!

 

Boxer will be on tour this summer, hitting these cities with Featherweight:

Anyway to embed SoundCloud player into a post?

Just wondering how some of you guys are doing your effects for marble, splatter, etc. Are you just finding other records and tweaking their colors? I only ask because some of them look really, really good.

Protagonist - The Chronicle

 

The third release from my band will be EXACTLY what you have just described

 

A split 12" with six tracks from Edmonton, AB's OLD WIVES and 9 tracks from Iowa City's THE BLENDOURS.

 

I feel like its a risky record to make, but I also happen to think they're two of the best unknown bands on the continent at the moment... So we'll see how it goes!

 

Both bands sound great! The Blendours have a real Ziggens feel, love it!

Yep, you can go fuck yourself.  Point was, far too many bands are lumped into that "genre" when it apparently doesn't really mean anything,

 

But, on topic, if 2 bands were touring together and had a split, I'd pick it up if either band sounded good to me at that show.  I wouldn't pick it up on a whim, and I wouldn't pick it up if I didn't like either of the bands at the show.

 

I just used post-hardcore because when I think of hardcore, I think of bands like Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, etc. I personally use post-hardcore as a reference to what more modern day hardcore sounds like, but it's all subjective.

how about you worry less about whether or not anyone will agree to buy your record and care more about putting out records for bands you believe in no matter the results?

 

Honestly, I don't care about the result or whether or not it sells. I would press them both individually, I just thought a split of this nature would be cool and would be more cost efficient that's all. So I guess I shouldn't have asked, "would you buy this", but rather "do you think I should release a split or should I just try and press them individually?"

Thanks for all the feedback! I'm glad it's been done before, so thanks for letting me know

Really?!

If its good...put it out! I'm pretty sure these bands wouldn't be the first to have debut material on vinyl.

Or tell everyone the bands so you can get a real idea of the interest.

Yeah, I get that if the bands are good people would be interested, but traditional split releases are a few new songs from two bands.

This would be a little different, I'd be putting two recently released EPs on a single vinyl, one on each side. I've never seen it done that way before and was just wondering if the idea itself would be interesting to people or whether people would steer away from it.

Yeah, Id bet it does ok on this board then.

Ive gotta be really careful with suggestions on VC because ive been burned before.

The label I run is called Reveille Records (http://facebook.com/reveillerecords) if you want to check out our other releases haha it'll give you a better idea of the type of music we put out. They're all melodic punk bands, but that's a broad category so their sounds vary quite a bit.

Not a bad idea, I mean it's either that or two 7's, right?

Exactly, and about half the price to make two 7"s, so we could also keep the price down this way

Care to tell us what the bands are?

Wish I could, but I'm not sure if it's going to be released like this yet, hopefully soon though.

Doesnt melodic "punk" band = teenie bopper around here?

Haha I guess, but neither sound like The Story So Far if that's where this is going. I do like that  band though, so I guess I'm a 25 year old teeny bopper haha

I think it could be an interesting idea if the band selection is done well.

 

Both genres are similar, ones a moody alt-rock, post-hardcore act and the other is a melodic punk band.
