THE BOXER REBELLION - THE SECOND I'M ASLEEP - Exclusive Vinyl LP

The Boxer Rebellion have always sounded like a band mid-conversation with themselves, each song a question asked softly but with intent. Their music doesn’t rush toward revelation; it circles it, presses a hand against the glass, waits for the feeling to make itself known. Listening to them feels like standing in a quiet room after an argument has ended—everything still vibrating, nothing fully resolved.

What they do best is restraint. The songs build patiently, almost reluctantly, as if aware that the payoff only matters if you’ve earned the climb. Nathan Nicholson’s voice carries a particular ache—less theatrical heartbreak, more the exhaustion of someone who has been holding something heavy for too long. Guitars swell and recede, drums arrive like weather, and the space between notes feels intentional, like breath being measured. The band understands that sometimes the most devastating moment in a song is the one that almost happens.

In an era that often rewards immediacy, The Boxer Rebellion have made a career out of endurance. Their records feel lived with, not consumed—albums that wait for you to grow into them, to meet them halfway. They make music for people who sit with their feelings instead of trying to outrun them, who know that survival can be quiet and still count as triumph. The rebellion, here, isn’t loud. It’s the refusal to let tenderness disappear.

After a successful year of live performances in 2025, The Boxer Rebellion will release their seventh album, The Second I’m Asleep, on March 27, 2026. The 10-track record explores themes of clarity amid chaos, self-understanding, and emotional growth, created through an instinct-driven, spontaneous process. Featuring Nathan Nicholson’s distinctive vocals and the band’s dynamic soundscapes, the album combines raw energy with refined production. Top engineers Rees Broomfield, Billy Bush, and Kevin Grainger ensured exceptional sound quality across all listening formats. This release marks not just a return but an evolution for the band, continuing their journey of global tours and media appearances. 

Available in an exclusive marbled heavyweight vinyl, with our signature obi-strip, numbered 1 to 100.
