They have so far released an eponymous EP, and three studio albums, Exits (2005), Union (2009) and The Cold Still (2011). The Boxer Rebellion’s third studio album, The Cold Still (2011) was mixed and produced by Ethan Johns at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios. The album was released on iTunes in February 2011.
The band have toured with acts such as Editors, Lenny Kravitz, Gary Newman and The Killers and been extensiveley featured in various fiolms and television shows.
