The Boy Detective began as a humble recording project between two Michigan friends, Nic Good (guitar/vocals) and Benny Capaul (vocals), writing ska-punk songs about domestic life and dad humor as an excuse to escape the house for a few hours a week. What started as a lighthearted side project grew into a full-fledged band with the addition of Geridan St. Peter (trombone), Seth Urban (saxophone), Ricky Held (bass), Zach Marshall (drums), and Emily Steils (trumpet).
After releasing Banned From the Bathtub in 2021 and Art Theft in 2024, the band signed to Punkerton Records — home to like-minded misfits and modern ska revivalists — and began crafting Disco Lunch, their most ambitious release yet. With humor, heart, and a horn section that refuses to quit, The Boy Detective continue to prove that ska-punk is alive, well, and still joyously weird in the Midwest.
