Boombox Saints are an independent hip hop and R&B group based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The band officially formed in 2008 taking their name from the '90s cult classic film Boondock Saints. Within a four-year time frame, Boombox Saints have released two EPs, The Boombox EP and Bringin' the Boom Back: Based on a True Story as well as a full-length debut album titled For the Moment. They have shared stages with some of today's most commercially successful and respected acts including J. Cole, Kid Cudi, Big Sean, Mos Def, Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Souls of Mischief, Far East Movement, Danny Fernandes and Sean Paul.
Consisting of emcees Freeky P and Huggy Fresh, vocalist Adlib and DJ Relik, Boombox Saints released their debut EP The Boombox EP featuring the singles "Flip It" and "She Got" on November 9, 2010. After winning the Urban Music Association of Canada's Urban X-posure Triple Threat competition in 2009, the band received a singles digital deal with Nettwerk Music Group for "She Got". Soon after, the music video for "She Got" received support from MuchVibe and Aux TV.
On March 8, 2011, the band self-released their follow up work Bringin' the Boom Back: Based on a True Story. Intended as a tribute to the era of '90's R&B and hip hop that had helped craft the band's sound, Bringin' the Boom Back: Based on a True Story featured four singles: "Bringin' the Boom Back", "Gotta Let You Know", "Late Night Creep" and "The Break Up Song". "Bringin' the Boom Back" was produced by fellow Vancouverite K-Rec who remixed "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C., which soon became the title track for the Electronic Arts video game SSX Tricky. The band uploaded the EP as a free download on their website and have also shared a complete collection of their work on DatPiff.
