Boy Hits Car

The Profile

Boy Hits Car is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1993, known for blending nu/alternative metal with acoustic and world-music elements. Releases include the self-titled Boy Hits Car, My Animal, and The Passage.

Fronted by vocalist/12-string guitarist Craig Rondell. The 2001 self-titled album mixes nu metal with Indian instrumentation and emocore touches. Noted in 2005 for a high-risk stage-dive at K-Rockathon.

Rorix reviews Boy Hits Car’s 2001 self-titled album: a nu metal blend with Indian instrumentation and a touch of emocore. The formula delivers some charm but grows repetitive over 50+ minutes. Standouts include “I’m a Cloud,” “Going to India,” and “As I Watch the Sun Fuck the Ocean.” Recommended mainly to fans of nu metal with folkloric elements. The band’s most infamous moment remains a daring 2005 stage-dive.
