The Boxer Rebellion shot to fame earlier this year when the digital version of their album UNION went Top 5 on both iTunes UK and US Album Charts with 48 hours, resulting in the band entering the Top 100 US Billboard Album Charts with no label backing whatsoever.

UNION also knocked My Morning Jacket off the iTunes US Alternative Albums No.1 that week, and at one point was outselling the likes of Coldplay and Kings of Leon. The CD version of the album is being manufactured and promoted in partnership with hmv, marking a ground-breaking collaboration between an artist and retailer.

The Boxer Rebellion have infamously suffered a stop-start career at the hands of a volatile music industry. The aptly-titled and self-produced UNION is the triumphant result of what can be achieved when ability, commitment and relentless drive converge towards a shared, immovable goal.

From the opening assault of "Flashing Red Light Means Go" through the insistent "Spitting Fire" to the redemptive closer "Silent Movie", the overriding effect of UNION is of going through an emotional storm and arriving replenished on the other side.

UNION will be on sale at hmv and Fopp stores across the country, as well as in selected independent retailers. The CD version of the album includes bonus tracks as well as exclusive interviews, track-by-track commentary, and filmed lessons from the band, powered by Opendisc technology.
