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 ↴
I'm so glad that we had our little talk/chat
It's nice to know you will never change your ways
And I'm glad that you left me years ago
Because now I found someone who confides in me
Sad to hear your new man sleeps around with other girls
But now you know just how it feels to realize your love means shit
Made me smile to hear you say, "Other guys don't measure up."
What goes around always comes around
I'll watch you fall then hit the ground
I don't know what's happening
It's a world of selfishness and sin
In the song "Karma" by Boy Kicks Girl, the singer is expressing his satisfaction that his ex-girlfriend has not changed her ways, even years after their relationship ended. He is glad that she has moved on with someone else, as he has found someone new to confide in. The singer then reveals that he has heard that his ex-girlfriend's new partner has been unfaithful, and he takes some pleasure in her experiencing the pain of realizing that her love means nothing to him. The singer is also amused by his ex-girlfriend's comment that "other guys don't measure up," as he believes she was never good for anything.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea of karma, with the singer watching as his ex-girlfriend falls and hits the ground. He acknowledges that he doesn't understand why the world is so full of selfishness and sin but implies that his ex-girlfriend's behavior is an example of this universal truth. Through his lyrics, Boy Kicks Girl suggests that people who behave badly can expect to face consequences for their actions, whether in love or in life.
