Boys Like Girls is a Boston-area band that broke out by blending rock, pop, and punk into a sound built for huge hooks, emotional energy, and singalong anthems. From early on, they turned that formula into multi-platinum success, sold-out shows, massive streaming numbers, and a fanbase that has stayed with them well beyond their original rise.
Formed by a group of friends from the suburbs of Boston, the band first hit big with their 2006 debut and pushed even further with their 2009 follow-up, which reached #1 on the Top Rock Albums chart and cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. Along the way, they built a catalog that includes platinum songs like “The Great Escape” and “Love Drunk,” the gold-certified “Hero/Heroine,” and the platinum duet “Two Is Better Than One” with Taylor Swift, while touring globally and playing major stages such as Madison Square Garden.
