The Boy Detective: Debut Full Length Album “Exhibition” + 7” vinyl Split + Record Release Short Run Tour + New Holiday Single
Punkerton Records is thrilled to announce The Boy Detective’s much-anticipated debut full-length album, Exhibition, set to release on November 8, 2024, across all formats, including vinyl, CD, and digital. Known for their infectious ska-punk energy, wit, and dynamic performances, The Boy Detective is making waves as one of Southeastern Michigan’s most exciting new bands.
About The Boy Detective
Founded as a casual ska-punk project between friends Nic Good and Benny Capaul, The Boy Detective has grown from playful studio sessions into a full band, amassing a loyal following. Since their live debut in 2022, the band has evolved with a rich lineup, including saxophone and trombone players who add layers to their unique, humor-filled sound. After signing with Punkerton Records in 2024, they began work on “Exhibition”, a landmark record that captures the spirit and vitality of ska-punk today.
A Word from The Band
“The greatest “Exhibition” that Southeastern Michigan has to offer. A visual and auditory exploration on Aging Seduction, Sentimental Parenting, Betrayed Relationships and Existentialism. A pure masterpiece of breakdowns and upstrokes.” - Benny Capaul (singer, The Boy Detective)

Holiday Single Alert!
In a ska-infused holiday twist, The Boy Detective will also be dropping a festive single, “I Renounce Verdukianism!” on November 8.
“Tis the season of disastrous relationships and crippling self-isolation mixed with stretched out and holey stockings overflowing with regret and jealousy. Deck the halls with subzero apartments and frostbitten appendages “I didn’t need those three fingers anyways!”. Happy Holidays from the Boy Detective.” -Benny Capaul (singer, The Boy Detective)
