Review: The Boxer Rebellion – Evacuate
November 4, 2009 by Dave Adair

In the build up to their second album ‘Union’, Nathan Nicholson continues to lead this rummaging indie quintet down the road of mid-tempo, melodic searching through the lead single, ‘Evacuate’. It is their UK base rather than the Tennessee connections that seems to continue to drive them. It mirrors the impact of Morning Runner, especially in the singing style of Nixon that stays just the right side of desperation for a number of this cut.
Spindling guitars pick up the tempo, taking the tapping drums beat with them, as Nicholson makes a plea for honesty from a significant other. For those liking seriousness, yet a toe tapping touch can still rely on the Boxer Rebellion.
