waytansea27 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 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. STREAM THE SINGLES HERE. Like Reveille Records on Facebook. ---------- +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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytansea27 Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 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. We are also running a contest to win free digital downloads on Reveille Records' Facebook page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
