ATTENTION DRUMMERS. We need you!

We're eternally grateful to Rob for stepping in recently but, sadly, he's not able to commit long-term so Boxfires are back on the hunt for a permanent tub thumper.

If you think you, or perhaps one of your pals fits the bill drop us a line on here and we'll chat more. We're all dead sound and that! Our mums said so.

p.s. If your snare doesn't look like this after every practice, we're not interested (jk, obvs).

Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who came out for the launch gig last night. We had an absolute blast!

Would you believe, I set up two cameras and then forgot to switch either of them on, so you’ll have to make do with Lucy’s grainy phone pics.

Thanks again to and for the incredible sets and thanks to the Peer Hat for putting up with us.

Hopefully we’ll see you all again very, very soon!

Recorded (mostly) in the summer of '25 with Kurt Tabbada Wood (of Goo fame) at Corner House Recording Studio in Keighley, West Yorkshire (Yorkshire, Yorkshire, etc.). Hit him up for all your recording needs!

Also a massive thanks to Anthony Birtwistle. We never did have a leaving do, but Anthony, sadly, wasn't able to continue behind the kit as of late last year. He's done an incredible job on these and the cover image is also his contribution too.

Next stop, launch gig at the Peer Hat on Friday 20th https://fb.me/e/jKZls2IXd

See you there! (buy tickets! https://www.skiddle.com/e/41602004)
