On this day, 25 February 2008, rock band Boy Kill Boy played Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach. The band were about to release their second and final album Stars And The Sea.
Released on 31 March 2008. It was recorded in three recording studios in Cornwall, Brighton, and Los Angeles. The track, "Loud and Clear", was made available for a free download from the band's website.
Much deliberation was made over the name of the album. In the December 2007 edition of Uncut, the magazine claimed that it would be a self-titled album, also HMV had the title listed as Loud and Clear, although MTV2UK and Amazon had both named it Stars and the Sea. It was finally announced in early November 2007 that it would be called this.
It charted at number 98 on 6 April 2008.
However, the album failed to repeat the success of their debut, and rumours of a split began surfacing. On 12 October 2008, Boy Kill Boy confirmed this via an announcement on their MySpace site.
Singer Chris Peck subsequently started a new project and, on 11 January 2011, posted a video clip on YouTube for a new song called "Riversong". Peter Carr went on to play keyboards in singer-songwriter Marina and the Diamonds' backing band.
The band briefly reformed for two gigs at Oslo, Hackney, London, on 19 November 2016 and 25 November 2016.
