Butcher Boy is an indie pop band from Glasgow, Scotland, formed in 1998 by lead singer and songwriter John Blain Hunt. Their first appearance on record came in August 2006 with the song "Days Like This Will Be the Death of Me" on the HDIF label's compilation The Kids at the Club. In April 2007, Butcher Boy released their debut album Profit in Your Poetry, which received positive reviews. The band followed up with the EP The Eighteenth Emergency later that year. Their second album, React or Die, was released on April 13, 2009, preceded by the single "A Better Ghost". In May 2008, the track "I Know Who You Could Be" from Profit in Your Poetry featured in the US TV drama series Moonlight. Later albums included Helping Hands (2011) and You Had A Kind Face (2022).
