London's The Boxer Rebellion are excited to announce the second leg of their North American headline tour, taking in 18 US and four Canadian shows throughout October and November. In addition, The Boxer Rebellion will be appearing at this year's Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, TX (November 4), the City Arts Festival in Seattle, WA (October 21), and at Mexico City's Corona Capital (October 15).

An exclusive pre-sale ticket bundle for the tour is now available through the band's official Web site and includes a limited-edition tour poster for each show as well as a high-definition download of the band's brand new live album. General sale tickets will be available beginning Wednesday, August 3.

Today the band digitally released their debut live album titled Live In Tennessee. Available now for purchase through the band's official Web site, the album features an entire 16-track set performed by the band in frontman Nathan Nicholson's hometown of Maryville, TN. Recorded and mixed by Ben MacAmis at the Clayton Center for Performing Arts on October 12, 2010, Live In Tennessee also features four different album covers, a digital booklet, and is available in full high-definition WAV and MP3 digital formats.

The Boxer Rebellion recently launched the music video for their current single "The Runner," alongside a vibrant electro-rock remix by The Joy Formidable. The music video, directed by the controversial and Oscar shortlisted-duo Darkfibre (Ishbel Whitaker and Marc Hawker), is a stunning mini-masterpiece described by Whitaker as "sexy, playful and naughty but also profound, raw and honest." "The Runner" can be viewed HERE.

Released on February 1, 2011, and created in conjunction with Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams, Ray LaMontagne), The Cold Still, one of FILTER Magazine's "20 Most Anticipated Albums of 2011," is an exercise in master class performances and sophisticated songwriting from a band that embodies the very definition of "independent." Regarded byBillboard Magazine as an "epic, effortless offering from a quartet dead set on perfecting their craft," The Cold Still is continuing to captivate music fans around the world. Monumental and intimate in equal measure, it is a breathtaking album bristling with tense passion, giant riffs and heartrending lyrics, all with an effortless grace that has become The Boxer Rebellion's trademark.
