Boyracer was founded in Leeds, England by vocalist and guitarist Stewart Anderson in 1990.
Both James Chadwick and Simon Guild departed early in 1994, and Anderson put together a new line-up before releasing the group's debut full-length for Slumberland Records.
[1][additional citation(s) needed] More lineup changes ensued in 1994 while the group continued to put out releases, with a number of 7 inch EPs and they toured the United States for the first time at the beginning of 1995.
In 2010 the band played two shows in Los Angeles and San Francisco as part of the Slumberland Records 20th Anniversary showcase.
Following a short hiatus, Boyracer hit the road again, touring the United States and playing beloved small venues.
