BOATS! Is an energetic punk rock band from Sacramento, California. They play mostly short, catchy songs, that keep people wanting more and more. Many people have compared them to bands like BUZZCOCKS and The Ramones, but they have their own, unique sound as well.
BOATS! Was formed in 2007 with three original members; Matt Leonardo - Guitar, David Hayden - bass and Jef Melendez - Drums. The band released its first full length LP called “BOATS!” that year, as well. Then in 2008 BOATS! First single “Summer Vacation” was released and the band began extensive touring in the United States and Canada. In 2010 BOATS! Released their second full length LP “Totally Jawsome” and it was really great. In 2011, BOATS! original
drummer, Jef Melendez, left the group. He was replaced with Patrick Shelly (Final Summation, Union Hearts) but, Patrick left the group after only 9 months to focus on other bands. He was replaced by current drummer Adam Jennings.
