Boys Like Girls is a four-piece rock band from Boston, Massachusetts. The group completed nationwide tours with Cute Is What We Aim For, Hit the Lights and Butch Walker and topped the Top Unsigned Artist chart on PureVolume, within a few months from forming in late 2005. In August 2006, they released their Matt Squire-produced debut album Boys Like Girls via Columbia Records/Red Ink.
It was in the fall of 2005, that the band was formulated when singer/guitarist Martin Johnson wrote a handful of songs he was looking to record. The bassist Bryan Donahue and drummer John Keefe, both were recruited so as to give a new face to the band image. Along with Keefe came the lead guitarist Paul DiGiovanni, who he had collaborated recently on a brief demo recording with. The final touch to the make over was given with the addition of new artist. The quartet soon opened a PureVolume account to showcase their music, and uploaded a roughly recorded demo of "The Great Escape" and an acoustic rendition of "Thunder" to their profile. By the end of the year, the group had landed the #1 spot on the website's Top Unsigned Artists chart.
The arising buzz around the band was overheard by both booking agent Matt Galle and record producer Matt Squire, who contacted the band about a future collaboration. With their support, Boys Like Girls embarked on their first nationwide tour with A Thorn for Every Heart, Hit the Lights and Keating beginning late February 2006. Following the month-long venture, the group immediately entered the recording studio with Squire, to record their debut album for Columbia Records/Red Ink. During their time in the studio, Squire introduced the band to another of his alumni, Cute Is What We Aim For, who offered Boys Like Girls an opening slot on their upcoming headlining tour. Shortly after the completion of their album the bad was back on road tyo continue touring which seem to be doing do passionately. Among other performances, it included the Cute Is What We Aim For tour in June, as well as a two week stint of shows with Butch Walker in late July. In between, the band filmed their first music video for their album's lead single, "Hero/Heroine", directed by Mark Serao and Chris Vaglio of Grey Sky Films.

Artist Biography - Boys Like Girls
|
 On August 22, 2006, the eponymous Boys Like Girls hit record store shelves. As of October 2006, the album has sold 13,760 copies within the United States. While, as the title might suggest, songs about boys liking girls clearly prevail on the record, Johnson threw in the occasional escape from the pre-, mid-, or post-relationship formula, and touched upon themes such as his mother's battle with cancer, leaving home and precocious adolescents. Concerning the latter, he discussed the motivation behind the song "Dance Hall Drug": "So many kids are growing up too fast. 13 year olds are giving each other hand jobs in the back of the bus, 14 year olds are already drinking and partying, and kids spend more time worried about growing up and being cool than they do actually growing up and being a kid."
With their first album in limelight, Boys Like Girls completed their first headlining tour, which was supported by Permanent Me and Scenes from a Movie in August and September. The success of this tour encouraged the band to head out on an East coast tour, opening for lost prophets and Eighteen Visions throughout October 2006. The remainder of the year will be spent playing first on a five-band bill with Spitalfield, Punchline, Over It, and Valencia, as well as on the Tournado Tour, nightly sharing the stage with The All-American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack, and The Format.
