BNDRY sat down with lead singer and Boise’s Best member, Cooper Lowry and his band mates; Doug, Ricky, and Alex for an electric interview highlighting their best experiences together as a band, the writing process, and the time a gentleman tried to swipe their bassist spot. The backstage room was ecstatic, a culmination of pre-show push ups, team huddles, and constant banter.

When Boise’s Best winners, Sayed M and Ani Carnell first conceived the Pace for Peace 5K race, they knew they couldn’t do it alone. Less than a year later and two successful,  youth-led runs in, so far they’ve raised over $20K for causes that connect global and local communities through community building. More than a run, its a movement.

Boise’s food scene is a hotbed of creativity, but let’s be honest—some spots are more hype than substance (looking at you, $18 beet hummus).
