Formed in 2007, from Sacramento California, BOATS! is an indie/punk band, that plays super short, catchy songs, in the style of The BUZZCOCKS, The Briefs and Clorox Girls. After releasing their first EP in 2009 "Summer Vacation", BOATS! hasn't really looked back. Touring all over the U.S. and Canada, BOATS! seem to make a good impression where ever they go. Though most people who aren't from Sacramento think BOATS! are from the San Francisco bay area... They really aren't. Sacramento is located between Reno, NV and San Francisco on interstate 80. BOATS! may not be a “local favorite” but they have found their share of success on the road playing with bigger bands.
