The Boxing Lesson

The Boxing Lesson is an American band based in Austin, Texas. To date, this shape-shifting band has five releases (EPs / LPs). The band have described themselves as “space rock,” though they incorporate a wide range of genres, including psychedelic rock, indie rock, classic rock, noise rock, progressive rock, shoegaze, art rock, post punk and lo-fi.

Haunting vocals and moody melodies are punctuated by mesmerizing guitars, droney beats and expressive electronica. The Boxing Lesson plays “space” rock that can transport the listener to another dimension and has been referenced to classic influences such as Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Brian Eno & The Cure.
