Boy Sets Fire are back home. For 11 years the band have seen many things including their vans blowing up mid-tour, enduring 4 labels and touring continuously throughout the world non-stop. After being on the cutting edge of the new, then unknown, "emo" movement, BSF took to making hardcore and the scene a positive thing. Known for giving something for fans to think about in addition to the sing-a-long was all part of the Boysetsfire mantra about hardcore and how they lived their lives. Now, after being friends with Equal Vision Records over all these years and releasing a split with Snapcase back in 1999, Boysetsfire have signed with Equal Vision Records. Before releasing their next full-length next year Boysetsfire wanted their most treasured releases, The Day The Sun Went Out, Consider 7" and In Chrysalis EP back in print again. Released separately as two CDs, these will be available to fans that never had the chance to hear these groundbreaking songs. Remastered, remixed and including bonus cuts never heard before, this is the time for fans to remember one of hardcore’s pioneers. 2005 is here and its time to see Boysetsfire remembered for what they contributed to music and to look forward to what they still have to say in their life. Look out for a brand new Boysetsfire release in 2006 and massive tour plans following that release.
Rage Against the Machine’s demise left a void in the already narrow world of astute, socio-political hard rock. Boysetsfire step into that void by presenting an industrial/punk/hardcore sound built the death-metal-influenced vocals of Nathan Gray and a taught, aggro musicality. That said, surprising melodic interludes appear here and there, as does an instrumental precision worthy of King’s X. The unexpected is unforced, while the political lyrics in songs such as "Dying on Principle" ("Corporate sponsors will see to it that the right product kills us") are explosive and inspiring, never insipid or uninformed. A tense energy and controlled, taut vigor permeates every song. "Handful of Redemption" is commercial in a Papa Roach-like manner, while "Release the Dogs" is more reminiscent of Henry Rollins. In short, Tomorrow Come Today is an exceptional record from a significant band. --Katherine Turman
