Boys Life was an American indie rock band from Kansas City, Missouri, formed in 1993.
The band only released two albums during their original time together, but were foundational in the emo genre.
Band members went on to form other bands such as Canyon and Lullaby for the Working Class. Brandon Butler has also released several albums of solo material under his own name and formed the band Six Bells in 2014, who released their debut album in late 2015.[1] In 2015, the band announced a brief reunion tour to coincide with the vinyl-only reissue of its second full-length album.[2]
In 2024, Numero Group formally announced they would be reissuing the band's material.[3] A compilation of the band's two albums, singles, and self-titled demo was released later that year, titled Home Is A Highway. In celebration of the release, the band reunited once again for a series of shows around Kansas City.
