From 1996 to 2000, this San Jose trio steered away from the safety of the mainstream sound. With zero record label support, Boy Kicks Girl played hundreds of shows throughout the United States, released two albums and developed a large following of loyal diehard fans. In only four short years, Boy Kicks Girl managed to support such major label talent as Blink 182, Tsunami Bomb, The Ataris, New Found Glory and Dropkick Murphys among others.
In 1997, Boy Kicks Girl self-released their debut album ...or something like that. The album quickly earned BOY KICKS GIRL local recognition, and set the bar high for their follow up album. In 1998 they released Public Display of Aggression and demonstrated their ability to surpass all expectations with a gut punching 45 minute punk rock ode to heartbreak. With popular tracks as "We Are The Now", "Little Things", "Denny's Girl" and "Antisocial Girl", the album quickly gained recognition throughout underground punk scenes. Both albums ranked consistently in the Top 10 local music sales charts, received national college radio rotation, as well as air play on San Francisco's LIVE 105 KITS-FM.
Boy Kicks Girl was noted for their staunch Do It Yourself (DIY) ethics and local music scene support. Boy Kicks Girl consistently produced and promoted shows in the South Bay Area assisting numerous local and national touring bands with showcasing their music. This persistent mindset, dedication and enthusiasm won Boy Kicks Girl Metro Magazine's 2nd place award for the Best South Bay Area Local Band of 1999 and again in 2000.
Thanks for getting your punk on with Boy Kicks Girl.

Boy Kicks Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little girl, I know you've got problems,
But it seems I'm the biggest one of all.
I don't give in so easily.
Even though you took it upon yourself,
To fuck me over time and time again,
You know I still believe. Still believed in...
You lie all day, and you lie all night!
Yet, somehow I still believed in you!
You hurt me once, then you hurt me twice!
Your eyes so cold, your heart is made of ice!
Somehow I still believed in you!
One day when you turn your head,
All the things you did,
They'll come right back to you!

Little girl, I know you've got problems,
I am aware that you have issues, and I acknowledge that.
But it seems I'm the biggest one of all.
I realize that I am the worst problem in your life.
I don't give in so easily.
I am not easily defeated or discouraged.
Even though you took it upon yourself,
Despite the fact that you personally made the decision.
To fuck me over time and time again,
To consistently betray and take advantage of me.
You know I still believe. Still believed in...
My faith in you has not been entirely destroyed.
You lie all day, and you lie all night!
You are dishonest throughout the day and night!
And you're always looking for a fight!
You constantly seek out conflicts and confrontations!
Yet, somehow I still believed in you!
Despite all of this, I still maintained my trust in you.
You hurt me once, then you hurt me twice!
You caused me pain on two separate occasions!
Your eyes so cold, your heart is made of ice!
You are emotionally distant and uncaring!
Somehow I still believed in you!
Despite your behavior, I continued to have hope in you.
One day when you turn your head,
At some point in the future, when you are distracted or not paying attention,
All the things you did,
All of the negative actions you have taken,
They'll come right back to you!
Will inevitably catch up with you and have consequences for you.
