Boys Night Out is a rock band from Burlington, Ontario. The band officially formed in 2001 when lead vocalist Connor Lovat-Fraser and current guitarist Jeff Davis started collaborating on songs. The work eventually led to the four-song You Are My Canvas demo, an EP influenced by fellow Burlington hardcore act Grade. The release was followed by a signing to One Day Savior Records and their subsequent debut EP, Broken Bones & Bloody Kisses.
Interest in the band was immediate, and a short while later they signed to New Jersey-based Ferret Records. Their debut full-length, 2003's Make Yourself Sick, was to the shock of some fans much lighter and punk-pop-oriented, but with the same heavy screaming and guitars found on earlier releases. The band toured heavily in support of the record with acts such as My Chemical Romance, Catch 22, Saves The Day, and a stint on the Warped Tour circuit.
For the band's next effort, the outfit felt a change was in order, and wrote 2005's Trainwreck, a somewhat more subdued, experimental concept record based on a man's loss of sanity.
Trainwreck opens with a doctor dictating his notes into a tape recorder. The album chronicles the arrest, trial, treatment and subsequent release of a man who, in a waking dream, murders his wife and then cuts both his hands off so he can not kill again. He cuts his hands off with a machine at his work.
Kara Dupuy's voice serves as the ghost of the mans dead wife throughout the album.
