The Boxing Lesson, a rock band from Austin, Texas, was formed in Los Angeles in 2002 by Paul Waclawsky. The group released its self‑titled EP in 2003, gaining local attention and opening for touring national acts. In the same year, the band issued the EP Radiation, expanding its sound with Moog synthesizers and ambient effects, followed by Songs in the Key of C in 2006 after relocating to Austin, Texas. The 2008 full‑length Wild Streaks & Windy Days showcased a space‑rock aesthetic and received positive reviews at SXSW. Subsequent releases include Fur State (2010), Muerta EP (2011), the single "Health is the New Drug" (2012), and the 2013 album Big Hits! produced by Chris “Frenchie” Smith.
