After sweating through their first half year as a band in China, Boys Climbing Ropes had a run in with the enigmatic Xiao Punk.

Notable influences include Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Neil Young with Crazy Horse, Leonard Cohen and of course Bruce Springsteen. Boys Climbing Ropes entertains premonitions of becoming an unfastened release of music. One that continues week after week filled with the fervour of an early-communistic
