Boxer the Horse

Bio:

Prince Edward Island’s Boxer the Horse is Jeremy Gaudet (guitar/vocals), Andrew Woods (guitar/drums), Isaac Neily (keys/drums) and Christian Ledwell (bass).

The past year saw Boxer the Horse release their debut full length, Would You Please, to widespread critical acclaim. They were named the Best New Band of 2010 by CBC Radio 3 -- who shortlisted lead single “Mary Meets the Pilot” for 2010 Song of the Year -- and nominated for 5 PEI Music Awards. Would You Please was produced by Two Hours Traffic guitarist Alec O’Hanley, and builds on the 60’s-influenced jangle-pop of The Late Show EP to find their modern spin on the Kinks’ signature sound becoming infused with Malkmusesque self-awareness and honest Modern Lovers-style protopunk.

Boxer the Horse are a member of their hometown label Collagen Rock Records (The Danks, Mardeen, English Words). While balancing music with their university classes, the band has performed at Pop Montreal, NXNE, Halifax Pop Explosion, East Coast Music Awards and the Atlantic Film Festival Gala, and have appeared in support of such nationally heralded acts as the New Pornographers, labelmates Two Hours Traffic, In-Flight Safety, Dog Day, and Hey Rosetta. They have also toured as the back-up band for up-and-coming artist Molly Rankin.

With the band receiving their university degrees in April 2011, these Bachelors of Art will prepare to face the real world.
