Band members Pete Carr (Keyboards), Kev Chase (Bass + Backing Vocals), Shaz (Drums) and Chris Peck (Vocals + Guitar) were hailing from Essex / East London and released the singles Suzie and Civil Sin in 2005.

The band was signed to Vertigo Records and got their first major release with Back Again on February 13th 2006. They've supported Hard-Fi and headlined the NME New Bands Tour in the same year, as well as 3 UK headline tours of their own in the same year American tours with The Charlatans and Echo and The Bunnymen, and various dates with bands such as The Kooks, Dirty Pretty Things and Razorlight in Europe.

Originally, they were called Future of Junior but changed their name to Boy Kill Boy and lost original bassist Jim Lewis who went on to play with Cherryfalls, while they gained bassist Kev Chase. The band name came from the lead singer mishearing the name of a band called "Boy Called Roy".

Their first album, released May 2006, is called Civilian and contained the four singles Back Again, Suzie, Civil Sin and Shoot Me Down.

In May 2005 they released their debut single "Suzie" for record label Fierce Panda. In the summer the band opened the Radio 1 stage on Sunday/Friday of the 2005 Reading and Leeds Festivals. The second single followed later in the year now being signed to Fallout. "Civil Sin" was featured in Zane Lowe's "Hottest Track In The World Today". In 2006 the Vertigo single "Back Again" (released on 13 February) reached #26 in the UK Singles Chart and the re-release of "Suzie" on 16 May reached #17. The debut album "Civilian" was released on 22 May 2006 and entered the UK Album Chart at #16.

One of their major breaks came in May 2005 when the band stepped in to replace Nine Black Alps on the NME New Music Tour 2005 after the band's singer caught the mumps. Boy Kill Boy had only been billed to play one support slot on the whole tour but ended up playing numerous extra slots supporting Maxïmo Park and The Rakes. They returned the following year as headliners for NME's New Bands Tour 2006, supported by The Automatic, ¡Forward, Russia!, and The Long Blondes. They toured in the US supporting The Charlatans and played an extensive UK Headline tour in October. On 7 November 2006, they supported Feeder for one of their dates in aid of War Child at the Camden Roundhouse. This was also in conjunction with the "Shoot Me Down" single, released for the charity.

The Fierce Panda release of "Suzie" appeared on the soundtrack of the street football video game FIFA Street 2, released in winter 2006 by Electronic Arts. "Civil Sin" appeared on the soundtrack to the FIFA 07 football video game. Also, their single "Back Again" also appears in the Test Drive Unlimited videogame.

The band released The Stars and the Sea in March of 2008 through Mercury Records, but the label decided not to release the record in America, where the band had a substantial following. Because of this and other problems with their label, the band decided to call it a day in October 2008.

Back Again
Boy Kill Boy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Close to madness
So demanding, I can't breathe anymore
I'll never be the same again
Please forgive me, and forget me
'Cause it's calling my name
I'll never go back again, back again, back again, back again

Can I find some more misery?

If it can't be you, then it must be me, and
Can i find some more for me?
I'll never know, I'll never go back again, back again, back again

Cold September, I remember
Wishing I was away
I'll never be the same again
Please forgive me and forget me
Cause it's calling my name, it's calling, it's calling it's calling, it's calling, it's calling

Can I find some more misery?
If it can't be you, then it must be me and
Can i find some hope for me?
I'll never go ill never go back again

Time to time it gets easier
Time to time it gets easier again, again, again, again...

Can I find some more misery?
If it can't be you, then it must be me and

Can i find some more for me?
I'll never go ill never go back again...

Line by Line Meaning

Close to madness
I feel like I'm losing my mind

So demanding, I can't breathe anymore
The pressure is overwhelming and suffocating

I'll never be the same again
This experience has changed me permanently

Please forgive me, and forget me
I'm sorry for any harm I may have caused and wish to be forgotten

'Cause it's calling my name
Something is drawing me back to this painful situation

I'll never go back again, back again, back again, back again
I am determined to never repeat this mistake

Can I find some more misery?
Am I destined to continue suffering?

If it can't be you, then it must be me, and
If the source of my misery cannot change, then maybe it's me

Can I find some more for me?
Is there more pain and despair in my future?

Cold September, I remember
I recall a particularly difficult time

Wishing I was away
Longing for escape from my circumstances

Cause it's calling my name, it's calling, it's calling it's calling, it's calling
I'm still being tempted by this painful past

Time to time it gets easier
Occasionally the pain subsides

Time to time it gets easier again, again, again, again...
But the cycle of pain and recovery repeats

I'll never go ill never go back again
I remain steadfast in my determination to move forward and not repeat this mistake
