The alternative pop-rock duet from Boston officially began in 2006 with members: Martin Johnson – vocals, rhythm guitar, Paul DiGiovanni – lead guitar, Bryan Donahue – bass, and John Keefe – drums. They initially gained publicity from pure volume, eventually landing the #1 spot on on the pure volume's Top Unsigned Artists chart. The bands first major tour began late February 2006, accompanying A Thorn for Every Heart and Hit the Lights traveling nationwide. As the tour ended, the group headed to the studio to begin recording their first album. While doing so, they were introduced to Cute Is What We Aim for, and would eventually headline their tour that June, after the completion of their album. Soon afterward, the band shot the music video for their first single from their self titled album - "Hero/Heroine". Their album was officially released August 22, 2006, shortly before beginning their first headlining tour taking place late in late August and September. The band's second single "The Great Escape" was produced in early 2007, which would reach #63 on the Pop 100, and chart the Billboard 200 in April.

Amazing Band. Really fun beats, cool shows, and great lyrics. I love their straightforward name too. Martin Johnson's voice is really cool.
Really guys, it's not about what genre they are. Whether they're emo/punk/rock/alternative, whatever.
The point is, it's good music.

Thunder, Chemicals Collide, and Two Is Better Than One are the best songs ever!
Boys Like Girls is my favorite band

a good band. they may use the genre emo, but that doesn't mean you are. don't try to fucking label yourself by a band you listen to.

BOYSlikeGIRLS never claimed to be a punk rock band.
They are a self-proclaimed emo band, which is exactly on the mark. People often mistake punk and emo. BLG knows they're not punk. They get influence from punk music..but that's about it.
The band was really good when it was underground and stilll fresh back in 2006, but they're getting bigger and starting to sell out. They're crowds have become largely scene.
