Kansas City’s midwest emo pioneers. From 1993-1997 Boys Life defined this anxious strain of heartworn power pop punk, issuing a pair of standard-bearing albums between endless circling of the U.S. DIY circuit.
Collected here are their 'Departures and Landfalls' and self-titled albums, singles, split 7”s and 10”, live tracks, and rare demo tape, all annotated and illustrated inside a 24-page book
