In 1998, British alt-rock band bôa dropped their breakout single “Duvet,” a sweeping anthem that soundtracked the Japanese cult-classic anime Serial Experiments Lain. A little more than two decades later, “Duvet” re-emerged on TikTok, igniting a feverish renewed interest in the band with a whole new generation of fans and inspiring bôa to return to the studio to record their first new music in over 20 years. Now, with over 1 billion streams across their catalog, bôa — Jasmine Rodgers (vocals/guitar), Alex Caird (bass/guitar) and Lee Sullivan (drums) — is ready for their triumphant return with Whiplash, produced by Chris Zane (Jack Antonoff, Passion Pit, St. Lucia).bôa 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. They went on to release two studio albums, Twilight (2001) and Get There (2005).
