Boston Manor are a British rock band formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, in March 2013. They released a first EP, Here/Now, through Never Mend Records on Bandcamp,[4] and in 2014 they signed with Failure By Design Records for their second EP, Driftwood. In 2015 the band signed with Pure Noise Records: with them, they released another EP, Saudade, as well as their full-length albums Be Nothing (2016), Welcome to the Neighbourhood (2018) and Glue (2020). The band's sound blends emo with heavier influences, reminiscent of '90s grunge and early 2000s post-hardcore.[5] The band have been nominated for Best British Breakthrough at Kerrang! Awards in 2018[6] and Welcome to the Neighbourhood received a nomination for Best Album Artwork at Heavy Music Awards in 2019.[7]
