Boy Kill Boy are to release a new single next month and it's in aid of charity.
The popular indie band will lift Shoot Me Down from their acclaimed debut album Civilian on November 13th, with some of the royalties being donated to War Child. They join previous acts to support the cause as Coldplay, Radiohead, Blur and Oasis.
Boy Kill Boy's manager Chris Peck has had personal experience of the War Child programme in the Democratic Republic of Congo.Speaking about the situation, Peck has said: "Back in '95 I was lucky to spend a couple of months in Uganda with a home-grown organisation called 'The Ruwenzori Project'. There, me and fifteen others worked on an environmental programme in the Ruwenzori jungle which borders Uganda and the D.R.C. With this and through visiting neighbouring schools and orphanages I had a pretty up-close experience of war's devastation on the community, especially the kids. Those stories have since stayed with me so now I'm delighted to have anything to do with War Child and their long-term vision. We can't wait to play in support of the charity and to have our next single 'Shoot Me Down' linked to the project. Most of all we look forward to growing with War Child and being a part of this down the line in any way we can."
The group have also revealed they will be playing a London benefit gig, which will be announced shortly.
