What makes Los Angeles based Boxing Shadows standout from other bands, is their infectious rock melodies, insightful lyrics and an amazing show, all combined to create an exciting, fresh, yet classic sound.
Fronted by 17 year-old, lead vocalist and guitarist, Bec Hollcraft, Boxing Shadows has spent the last year playing to rave reviews in LA’s legendary venues.
At the age of 15, Bec Hollcraft caught the attention of local radio programmers in her native city of Portland, OR., after recording her first demo with fellow Portlander and lead guitarist, Rob Daiker, who had already built a solid fan base with his former band, Velabonz.
Bec went on to make her mark in Portland, playing radio shows, performing on local TV, and getting coverage in the local newspapers and music magazines. Bec was soon added into full time radio rotation and received incredible response.
Soon after being discovered by multi-platinum artist/producer, Meredith Brooks, the two traveled south, along with keyboardist Dave Basaraba, and began writing and recording in Meredith’s Los Angeles Studio.
“I loved the idea of a youth-aggressive pop/rock band led by this cool female, guitarist, writer with a searing voice, mature beyond her years. Add in their great songwriting and I felt we were a match”
After adding Brian Hendrix on bass and Steve Rooney on drums, Boxing Shadows now had the perfect foundation and began touring and performing around LA.
Under the talents of Brooks, Boxing Shadows debut album is very near completion, with mixes by Mark Needham (Killers, Fleetwood Mac). It has become clear that Boxing Shadows is a force on all levels that will compete with today’s veteran superstars.
