Home Is A Highway

Sleep off your summer with this comprehensive 36-song/4xLP overview of Kansas City’s midwest emo pioneers. From 1993-1997 Boys Life defined this anxious strain of heartworn power pop punk, issuing a pair of standard-bearing albums between endless circling of the U.S. DIY circuit. Collected here are their Departures and Landfalls and self-titled albums, singles, split 7”s and 10”, live tracks, and rare demo tape, all annotated and illustrated inside a 24-page book.
