Led by songwriter and singer Benji Barton, the Athens, GA-based
Boulevard delivers a stylish set of rock, new wave and romantic
appeal. Boulevard has the kind of sound that brings back the flare
and charisma of what rock and roll should be, along with a performance
that would make Bowie or the Stones proud.
Recording and performing since the early-2000s, Boulevard has ruffled
more than a few feathers. It seems everyone has formed an opinion
about the glamorous sound and vision of Boulevard. In December of
2005, Boulevard's Vice and Daring went to college radio, becoming 8th
most added in the first week. Vice and Daring, an EP with no label
support, out-added Death From Above and almost out-added The Darkness
who debuted at #7 on the CMJ charts. With this kind of response from
both fans and the industry alike, Boulevard was drawn to New York City
to pursue an even more modern, progressive sound.
"Boulevard sounds as if they're on their fourth or fifth album here as the
maturity of the songs and music is its greatest asset...It's an impressive batch
of tunes from a band sounding far wiser than their years."
PopMatters.com
"Boulevard's self-released Signal has that whole "Someday, Susie, we're gonna
get out of this two-bit town!" energy that befits the band's bouncy, vaguely
rebellious and very much youthful pop-rock riffs."
