With May's limited edition Fierce Panda release already being snapped up for silly money on Ebay, 'Civil Sin', their first general release, is undoubtedly the stand-out of their increasingly enthralling live set.
Coming on like a 21st Century Supergrass if they'd rediscovered their zest and passion (and Duran Duran's 'Rio') without resorting to carbon copied cheesiness, 'Civil Sin' is the undisputed sound of an unashamed past injecting life into a complacent present to create an exciting future.
But that's not all folks, as, like many great artists before them, Boy Kill Boy also have a killer b-side literally, with the mad-dash-go-for-it! pomp stomp of 'Killer' sounding like the score for 'Beverley Hills Cop' if it were re-written and filmed in Peckham.

I guess your lot were looking for the new Stereophonics instead!
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
If Virgin is not a major then neither is Parlaphone, Island, Mercury, Capitol, fuck me... go do some learning.
And as for Sterophonics whats the fuck you talkin about....? thats V2 you plum.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
PLUM.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
V2 is, I think, owned by Branson, but a completely seperate company. It's not counted as a major, more a large indie.
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
who writes for D.I.S..... SORT IT OUT BROTHER!!!... god bless ya.....
V2 and And Virgin are complety and utterly differnt and if you need me to explain this to you..... then god help us if your gonna be a music journalist of the future...
Dont be so lazy, do your homework.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
I think its you that needs to do the homework pal, starting with some research into the background of the company you work for.
And as for me, I have no desire to be "a music journalist of the future" as my current day job takes care of all my subservient needs thankyouverymuch.

What i am saying to you is.....
VIRGIN RECORDS has NOTHING to do with the Virgin Group
VIRGIN RECORDS IS part of the E.M.I. group.
Like shady adie delightfuly explained to u, it was sold over 10 years ago. 1993 to be exact.
While on the other hand V2 Records IS part of the Virgin Group and was started in 1996.
3 years after Virgin was sold.
So how on earth can they be the same thing?
I hope you understand now because i cant be bothered anymore to explain something so simple.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
V2 IS part of the Virgin group of companies.

AHRHRHRHRHRHRHRHGGGGG. COLIN... HELP THIS BOY OUT!!!!
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Why couldn't you just say that from the start?
BOOOOORRRRRRRIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG.
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Please say you'v rested that case now yeah..... please say you have please...dont lie to me this time...please.
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Oh, but nearly none of them are about the actual quality ( or lack thereof ) of the song...
Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Virgin records was bought by EMI a while ago, Branson
was badly in debt (i think something to do with the airline)
and started V2 to keep his hand in the music industry because
thats where he started as an entreprenuer.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
I'm not completely wrong.
V2 is part of the Virgin Group of Companies.
If you can PROVE that statement to be wrong, then fine, I'll accept I'm wrong.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
V2 is part of Virgin in the same way that Royal Mail is part of the Post Office.
If Mr Lloyd-Jones wants to make some nondescript point about who his employers are then I suppose he should really be on here defending EMI, as they are the people paying his wages.
As for the rest of his nonsensical post, it just stinks of sour grapes because his label missed out on one of the hottest new bands to come out of the UK this year.
Re: Boy Kill Boy - Civil Sin
Was your orginal point mate, with reference to
Virgin records the label NOT the organisation
- so yes, you are.
Neither me or Mr Virgin employee bloke are telling you
V2 is not a Virgin company as it blantantly is.
Whats worse is your attitude towards the fella though,
like your some kind of mercenary anti-corporate warrior
defending DiS against Virgin Records ffs, its just plain
immature and rude - especially for a prominent DiS journalist.

Read through Mr Lloyd-Jones posts and then tell me who was being immature and rude.
