About Boys Like Girls

Boys Like Girls formed in Boston in 2005 and became one of the defining pop-rock bands of the late 2000s. Built around Martin Johnson's vocals and the band's knack for crafting hook-laden songs, they carved out space between emo sincerity and pop radio accessibility. Their 2006 debut album spawned "The Great Escape," a track that defined a moment when relatably awkward romance could soundtrack your entire high school experience. "Two Is Better Than One" featuring Taylor Swift proved they could do earnest duets without irony. Even as taste shifted, they remained good at what they did: writing songs about wanting someone, losing someone, or pretending not to care. They've never stopped touring or releasing music, proving there's a persistent audience for this particular brand of careful vulnerability wrapped in power chords.

Their crowds are engaged without being frantic. People sing every word to the familiar stuff. There's genuine affection in the room rather than nostalgia-drunk irony. They're reliable musicians who play tight, don't oversell the drama, and seem aware they're working in a legacy.

Known for The Great Escape, Thunder, Two Is Better Than One, Love Drunk, Be Your Everything

Live Music in Baltimore

Baltimore's music scene has always leaned harder into punk, indie rock, and experimental stuff than mainstream pop-rock. But there's always been an undercurrent of people who grew up on accessible hooks and stadium anthems. Boys Like Girls fits that gap—they're the kind of band that resonates with folks who want their rock straightforward and their lyrics uncomplicated.

Baltimore road trip to see Boys Like Girls?

Stay in Canton or Federal Hill—both neighborhoods have the restaurants and bars worth spending time in. Try Alma Cocina for Peruvian fare or Pabu for Japanese if you want something substantial before the show. Walk around the Inner Harbor, grab coffee at a local roaster. The Walters Art Museum is genuinely excellent and free. Check out what's at The Lyric or Hippodrome if there's live music the nights before or after. Baltimore's best asset is that it doesn't feel overly polished—the authenticity matches the vibe of a band like Journey.
