Stars And The Sea is the second album by Boy Kill Boy. It was released on March 31, 2008. The band have recently previewed songs at small venue gigs and on their Myspace site. These songs include the recent and future singles No Conversation and Promises, and other tracks such as Paris, Be Somebody, A OK and Rosie's On Fire. The album was recorded in 3 recording studios in Cornwall, Brighton and Los Angeles. The track "Loud And Clear" was made available for a free download from the band's website.

Much deliberation has been made over the name of the album. In the December 2007 edition of Uncut, the magazine claimed that it would be a self-titled album. MTV2UK and Amazon have both named it Stars And The Sea. It was finally announced in early November that it would be called this.

[edit] Band quotes

"We're trying to carry a degree of honesty. People aren't idiots. Especially the kids who are into music now. They're running things, and that's great." - Chris.

"Sonically it's got a nice depth to it. I think it will appeal to a much broader range of people than the first album." - Shaz.

"I was doing interviews for the first album where people were calling us an ‘emo band'. I don't know where they got that from. It's got fuck all to do with us. Just because I'm not singing about wearing ‘the same jeans' every day" - Chris

"I hate to use the word ‘classic', but by maybe aspiring to our heroes and doing everything we can do to keep the language of great, ‘important' albums going, hopefully we've made something that isn't disposable, like so much of the industry is today. As long as we feel we've been honest, and true to ourselves, that's going to come across. We've succeeded on our own terms." - Chris
