The Boo Radleys are an English alternative rock band who were associated with the shoegazing and Britpop movements in the 1990s. They originally formed in Wallasey, England, in 1988, with singer/guitarist Simon “Sice” Rowbottom, guitarist/songwriter Martin Carr, and bassist Timothy (Tim) Brown. Their name is taken from the character Boo Radley in Harper Lee’s 1960 novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The band split up in 1999.
In their 11-year-long career, the band had one top ten single, the 1995 single “Wake Up Boo!”, which charted at no. 9; and a number one album, Wake Up!. The band reunited in 2021, without original guitarist Martin Carr, and released a single, “A Full Syringe and Memories of You”, their first new music since 1998. Paul Banks of Interpol has cited the band as an influence.
