What's the state done to you?
"For fans of Fontaines D.C, Idles and White Lies"
Biography
Born out of London’s underground gig circuit in 2024, Boxing Club are a four-piece straddling the Glasgow–London divide. Built from friends of friends and forum adverts, the band fuel their sound with streetwise grit and theatrical bite - music that’s both confrontational and cathartic.
Influenced by Fontaines D.C., Idles and White Lies, Boxing Club channel a furious energy that reflects the times: urgent, aggressive and unflinchingly direct. Their songwriting drags politics, nightlife, drugs and the fight for the underdog into sharp focus, holding a mirror to the chaos of modern living and daring it to look back.
Their debut single Barbra dropped in September 2025 and has since been championed across BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X, Hoxton Radio, Amazing Radio and RTÉ 2FM in Ireland, while also securing spots in Apple Music’s New in Rock and New in Alternative playlists. Onstage, the band’s reputation continues to grow through a run of intense, sweat-soaked shows at The George Tavern, The Social, The Elephant’s Head, a sold-out headline at The Dublin Castle and most recently The Victoria in Dalston.
Their second single City Boy arrived on 28 November 2025 — a sharper, darker escalation of their sound — and leads into their debut EP What’s the State Done to You?, released February 2026 to coincide with their headline show at The Grace in Islington. Having cut their teeth in the undercard, Boxing Club are stepping into headline territory, armed with a voice that refuses to be ignored.
