This week on The Boys in the Band Podcast we're joined by all four members of Boy Kill Boy to hear their story - and there are a lot of laughs along the way!
The band had to fend of accusations they were manufactured such was their rapid rise but they tell us about the hard work that went in before their big break - and the surprising role mystery graffiti artist Banksy played in their formation!
From playing on the penultimate Top of the Pops to having Suzie - and the lyric 'countdown to the disappointment' -soundtrack yet another early England football team World Cup exit, the Boy Kill Boy sound was everywhere in the 00s.
We hear the highs and the lows of that journey, including sun-drenched and food-feasting recording sessions in LA, and spine-tingling festival shows.
