The Boy Detective

The Boy Detective is a Detroit-based ska-punk band that started as a fun home-recording project between two friends looking for a creative outlet and a reason to get out of the house. What began as a casual collaboration quickly grew into a full-fledged seven-piece powerhouse, known for their energetic live shows, horn-driven sound, and lyrics that mix humor with heartfelt takes on life, love, and parenting. Over the years, the band has released albums like *Banned From The Bathtub* (2021) and *Art Theft* (2024), earning praise for their chaotic charm and genre-blending style that pulls from ska, punk, pop punk, and even Midwest emo.

With their latest album *Disco Lunch* (2025), produced by Roger Lima of Less Than Jake, The Boy Detective continues to push their sound forward while keeping their playful personality front and center. Their music is packed with catchy hooks, gang vocals, and a sense of fun that’s made them a standout act in the Midwest ska scene. Whether they’re tearing through a sweaty basement show or releasing a holiday single like “I Renounce Verdukianism!”, The Boy Detective brings big energy, big sounds, and a whole lot of heart to everything they do.
