Boys Night Out

Ontario-based pop-punk/emo/lotsa yelling combo Boys Night Out included vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser, guitarists Jeff Davis and Rob Pasalic, bassist Dave Costa, and drummer Ben Arseneau. They debuted in 2002 with Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses (Ferret Music) and immediately began a furious touring regimen that would continue nearly unabated until the end of eternity. (Fellow travelers included types like Brand New and Coheed & Cambria.) BNO returned to wax in April 2004 with the slicker and more melodic Make Yourself Sick. It featured totally hilarious song titles like "I Got Punched in the Nose for Sticking My Face in Other People's Business" and set up some MTV exposure and a round of Warped dates. Their conceptual follow-up, Trainwreck, appeared in July 2005. The DVD Dude, You Need to Stop Dancing was released via Ferret a year later, and the digital-only EP Fifty Million People Can't Be Wrong followed in February 2007. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide
