NEW YORK (Top40 Charts/ Boxer Rebellion Official Website) - Four years since the birth of their magnificent debut album, 'Exits', The Boxer Rebellion digitally release their much-anticipated, self-produced, sophomore record, 'Union', on January 11, 2009.

In an unprecedented move, iTunes have awarded the band a 'Global Single of the Week' spot on January 13th for the track 'Evacuate', which will run across every iTunes store on the planet.

Mixed by Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Feeder) and mastered by Kevin Metcalfe (U2, Prodigy), 'Union' has also been awarded the Editor's Choice album slot by iTunes US which will see it receive main page and front page (Rock/Alt) coverage.

Both 'Union' and 'Exits' will be available at an introductory price during their first two weeks of release (physical release dates forthcoming).

THE PAST:
Formed in London through a chance meeting between Tennessee native Nathan Nicholson (vocals/guitar) and Australian Todd Howe (guitar), the line-up was made complete with college friends Piers Hewitt on drums and Adam Harrison on bass. Following the release of an acclaimed debut EP in 2003, and on the eve of a potentially career-breaking tour with The Killers, Nicholson found himself deftly ill and on life-support, putting the band on indefinite hold.

Post-recovery, the band released limited copies of 'Exits', their debut album in 2005 to a rapturous response: Kerrang magazine proclaimed, 'If you're crying out for substance in your music, The Boxer Rebellion are here to soothe your soul,' while the NME stated, 'This band can alter your life.' Both The Fly magazine and MusicOMH considered the album 'flawless.'

THE PRESENT:
In 'Union', The Boxer Rebellion have produced a follow-up of epic proportions that somehow manages to surpass the vertiginous ambitions of its predecessor. While retaining the uniquely charged live sound that has won them a feverishly devoted following throughout Europe, 'Union' sees the band taking their already lofty ambitions to subliminal levels. From the tribal-drum explosion of opener 'Flashing Red Light Means Go', through the wintry atmospherics of enigmatic 'The Gospel Of Goro Adachi' to live favourites 'Evacuate' and 'Semi-Automatic', 'Union' is an album that transcends convention in a seismic blast of unfettered invention.

Currently being championed by KCRW Music Director and host of Morning Becomes Eclectic, Jason Bentley, 'Union' will be serviced nationwide to non-commercial and college radio stations in the coming weeks.

The band is currently preparing their Spring '09 tour schedule - dates soon to be released.

'The Boxer Rebellion's albums are completely non-disposable bodies of work - perfectly balanced in exemplary song-writing, epic performances, and wide-ranging creativity that reward the listener time and time again.' - Stephen Brolan, The Fly
