The Boxer Rebellion - Watermelon

[seiter13]

I REMEMBER SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 2001 - 2003, WHEN I WAS OBSESSED WITH AT THE DRIVE-IN, I LOOKED FOR BANDS OF THE GENRE. DIDN'T FIND MUCH BUT I CAME TO KNOW FUGAZI, LES SAVY FAV, DISMEMBERMENT PLAN AND THE BOXER REBELLION, THEY HAD THIS SONG HEART ATTACK THAT WAS KILLER, WHEN I SAW THAT MOVIE THE OTHER DAY I WAS LIKE HUH? KINDDA' THE SAME THING WITH DOVES BEING PLAYED IN THAT OTHER MOVIE AND BEACH BOYS IN THAT OTHER MOVIE. I WONDER IF 10 FROM NOW, FLICKS WILL HAVE HIGH LLAMAS IN THEIR SOUNDTRACK

[kevbo0825]

The intro to this song sounds a lot like The Cure. Wonder if The Cure is one of their favourite bands?

[toyretarted]

I wonder if somebody here searched history of "BOXER REBELLION"

[itsmeharms]

Going the Distance brought me here. Thanks to that movie, they are my favorite band currently. <3

[connect2raj35]

I totally agree!!!

[SummerStormsz]

the boxer rebellion<3

[dudepingi]

that was rude so I'm apologizing. Had a wee bitch fit there ...sorry :P

[dudepingi]

"iwillslagyoudown" how stupid r u? obviously you weren't there when the band was made, which means you probably heard it from either the media or one of your peers, therefore, you yourself are run by the media! does it really take a YouTube comment to tell you, your the biggest hypocrite in the U.K.? Because people such as myself heard the band in a movie you become god's gift to the boxer rebellion? such bullshit. We the Zombies, have spoken.

[Luuuuunchen]

The part between 0:06 and 0:20 is SO fuck*n GREAT! OH my good never heard such a great sound bevor!!!!

[Domvridis]

@Luuuuunchen I agree!!!

[RikTheMix]

@Luuuuunchen I've seen Todd play that live. He plucks the guitar strings behind the bridge on his guitar to get that sound. Simple but damn effective.

[endorphin2468]

zombie music

[TheMassDefect]

That's not even them in the pic is it?

[arsfreelance]

♪♪ insaaane! ^_^

[depecheandri]

abbastanza potentiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..qb

[OutdoorHunter360]

[jiggyy]

@OutdoorHunter360 my girlfriend made me take her to see that movie, i didn't know they were a real band until now

[bans5]

This was a random video that came up when i was listening to a different band. These guys are freakin LEGIT!

[nicoladooley]

[rollienoodles]

[CuttinUrselfAintCool]

@rollienoodles

[rollienoodles]

@CuttinUrselfAintCool just cause they have been out doesnt mean ive heard them before so for me its new. u feel me?

[indiekidnick]

guitar effect that runs from the beginning and through the verse, the echoy one, can anyone tell me what effect is used to make this sound please?

[SdrummerR]

Coool!

[ShadowZoned]

Not my favorite song.

[mueslimax]

yeah football factory :D

[TotallyLongo]

shame it's not them on the pic though....

[alternativefandotcom]

I had never heard of these guys before i read 'bot them in a local music mag. Thought why not find them on youtube and I am blown away! Damn it's great! I like the noisy guitar figures!

[blondeycakes09]

Football Factory :D

[TheArshavinator]

I love this song ever since i heard it on Euro 2004

[Hehj]

@TheArshavinator

Pretty much the only time I've heard of the band, too. This song made the game worth putting myself through.

[CIW1985]

I've really like this song since I heard it on the Euro 2004 computer game. The thing is though I traded the game in a while ago and couldn't remember what the song was called, then all of a sudden it popped into my mind ''Watermelon''.

[bebobands]

Don't miss your chance to see The Boxer Rebellion up close and personall!!!!

The band are gracing the Samsung Bebo Nights Stage in London this November, and with only 150 tickets on offer it's fair to say it's gonna be a blinder!!

Sorry for advertising, but if you like this band you should be there. Check our channel for entry details!

[Solomaster29]

this song rules it reminds me of 2004 and 2003

euro 2004 portugal

[drummerboyrocks]

both awesome bands but why is there a pic of britains greatest live band - EXIT CALM - for a Boxer Rebellion video????

[pissknackercuntshite]

Thats a picture of the band Exit Calm and not The Boxer Rebelion you stupid bastard!

[chunkthefunk1]

the first few seconds of the song are awsome

[sonofscurfer]

im going to jearsy live two

[6194lisa]

absolutely LOVE this song. LOVE the band. can't wait to see in them in spetember at Jersey Live (:

[Blew612]

Sound like the white lies

[Nicknamevanniks]

no they don't LOL

I do love both bands though

[wonderpope]

I can hear it too in the opening, now you mention it

[bremenlegation]

britpop as it should be. so much better than that pete doughtery/arctic monkeys bullshit thats been spoonfed to the masses.

[harryspoonpotter]

haha get out ur arse m8. anyone with half an ear could listen to arctic monkeys and hear an amazing lyricist, increasingly complicated and stretching tunes, and a fantastic senso of melody and atmosphere.

[ledzeppelin26]

sweetness, sweetness i was only joking when i said id like to smash every tooth in your headddd

nope, that opening riff is definitely pulled from johnny marr

[CariSuzi]

I saw them live at Glastonbury 09. I only saw them by chance, but I thought they were really good - so much energy, even as it was at midday. They did rock the crowd. Good music to wake up to :)

[Dystopia75]

I don't think you've listened to any of the other material. Are you serious??

[ratanyal]

heard this song musta been when it come out 2005 time, outstandin tune, purchased the album recently n theres lke 3 songs worth a listen. thought id have a look c what there like live n unless its the poor quality video then they aint much kop. u seen em live? how r they? this song fuckin amazin is there any others like this? they difficult to find, any mor albums or wha? cheers

[Dystopia75]

They are famous for their live reputation. Buy their latest album, Union, from iTunes. See them live. I'm sure you'll admit that it's impossible to get across any band's live performance, with atmosphere, musicianship and general awesomeness in 2 minutes of shitty phone video footage. They rock, and the world is starting to realise this...

[coopertemple78]

What a song. A band with some bollox at last.

[londonrocks]

one of my all time favourite bands!

[TwilightLoverLee]

I saw this band live they were awesome I really love them your right though its a shame they wont get a record deal they could get them so much further

[volec]

singer has got an amazing indie voice...

[1600032]

is it possible that there are 2 versions of this song? because i have a version thats 10 seconds shorter and the drums sound different. Btw this song is featured on the game "EURO 2004 Portugal" and the album was released in 2005 so it might be some sort of demo that was featured in the game.

[captains47]

I do like the band but you cant be bitter about them not getting a deal as any interest generated after this point would, according to you (iwillslagyoudown)! be generated from "brain washed zombies" and then be a false reflection of their actual talent anyway!

[captains47]

It's true that if a band get a record deal, they get advertising etc and people become interested but you have too look at things the other way round? If band are that good their fan base should keep growing until a record company cant refuse them a deal so why hasnt this happened? They havnt generated enough interest themselves to put the company's in this position. They will get a deal if and when they earn it through their every expanding fan base which will then be deserved and only then!

[DSCH4]

That photo is of Exit Calm, not The Boxer Rebellion.

[Laugharamallama]

LOLLLLL

nice call!

[jjcoldplaygirl]

far out this song is beyond awesome! why arent they getting the attention that they deserve?!

[iwillslagyoudown]

because people are like sheeps and they only come flocking when a band have a record deal, they need the media to tell them something is good before they believe it, people in this country do not have a mind for themselves,

people of britain are brain washed zombies waiting for the tv and media to run there lives, its too sad

[highwireman]

thats probably the most accurate description for the situation I've ever heard in my life. Ever.

[shokyu42]

I agree, but I also have to say that for my personal benefit, it's pretty good that a lot of people don't know them that well, 'cause that makes the tickets for their show here in glasgow pretty cheap! :D

[mikkelfs92]

I like u.. And hands down nice explanation of how the music system has been in the era..

[beach3579]

i think you belong in a mental hospital

[Assaultpredator]

hahahah i had no idea wtf he said either.

[Chemical373g]

@iwillslagyoudown It's the same over here in the U.S. man. : (

[KatsAndBees]

@Chemical373g don't forget about canada!!! im like EMBARASSED of all our canadian "artists"..avril lavigne...the stereos...nickelback..ohlordno they suck

[Chemical373g]

@KatsAndBees well at least you guys have Three Dyas Grace, they are pretty awesome. Listen to "Break" it is one of my favorite songs.

[AnnieRection]

@KatsAndBees Alexisonfire, City and Colour,, Black Lungs, Constantines, Silverstein, Emarosa, Cancer Bats, Rush... All excellent groups/artists. Im even kinda fond of Shania Twain ahahahaha. But yes all those you noted are shit.

[katchristenson]

@KatsAndBees but you has Lights as well. She just. makes everything better.

[JoeGayton]

@iwillslagyoudown  bollocks

[Zac0ria]

@iwillslagyoudown not just people of britain people of the world.

[keenowhufc1990]

@iwillslagyoudown

people just listen to the everyday crap that is put infront of them.such a shame....

[VonKutlery]

@iwillslagyoudown Try calling me a zombie to my face, if you do I swear to god i'll eat your brains

[pucapatrick]

@iwillslagyoudown the first part, agreed, 2nd, I'd say no

[Rachiejane1]

@iwillslagyoudown People of Britain are brainwashed?? Are you broken? Our media doesn't brainwash us like American media does to them. And what are 'sheeps'? It's sheep you idiot...

[THEREEGS]

why a EXIT CALM photo?

[matoran866]

This song is just so much class. It's criminal the band have been denied the limelight for so.

[jaujau24]

football factory soundtrack!

[colishow]

Genial

[sammyndean]

Great track! Thanks for uploading it.
