They have just embarked on their first headlining UK tour, after supporting Hard-Fi. They are to headline some of the 2006 NME New Music Tour, on which they will be supported by The Automatic, ¡Forward, Russia!, and The Long Blondes.

Most recently, their single "Suzie" has appeared on FIFA Street 2.

They received their first top 30 hit with Back Again which charted at number 26. Their first album, Civilian, will be released on May 22, May 2006, preceded by a re-issue of "Suzie". There are plans to re-issue "Civil Sin" in the near future too.

The band name was dervied by the lead singer mishearing a band called "Boy Called Roy". The band stated on popworld that they liked the name Boy Kill Boy because it looks as if one was blowing a kiss if the name was spoken silently.
