bôa is a British alt-rock band originally formed in London in 1992 by Ed Herten (drums), Paul Turrell (keyboard/strings), Steve Rodgers (guitar/vocals), Alex Caird (bass guitar), Jasmine Rodgers (guitar/vocals), and Ben Henderson (guitar/saxophone). When Ed left the band in 1994 Lee Sullivan joined. Over the course of their career, they have released two studio albums, Twilight (2001) and Get There (2005).
After a period of inactivity, bôa recently reformed following an incredible renaissance for their classic track “Duvet”, with the line-up of Jasmine Rodgers (vocals/guitar), Alex Caird (bass/guitar) and Lee Sullivan (drums).
Originally released in 1998 and featured as the soundtrack to cult-classic Japanese anime series Serial Experiments Lain, the track “Duvet” became a viral hit on social media towards the end of 2021 – sparking enormous and ongoing interest in the group amongst a whole new generation which has led to millions of streams across their entire catalogue.
Inspired by the growing interest and resonance of their past releases, and calls from fans for new material, the band have recently signed a deal with Nettwerk Music Group and are currently working in the studio on new songs.
