"This band rocks and this band has a message!"
2001, Nancy, France: P.O.BOX plays its very first gigs in France. Since then, the band has been on intensive touring through Europe, increasing its reputation of having an “explosive stage performance”. After having released a demo-cd (‘Fartcore', 2001) and a split-cd (‘We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars', 2002), the band s...igns on Winged Skull Records for the release of their first EP (‘Rock my reality') in 2004. Thousands and thousands of kilometers spent on European roads lead the band to record their debut-album ‘…And the Lipstick Traces' and to sign in April 2007 on Long Beach Records Europe, Übersee Records and Guerilla Asso which released this long-awaited full length in Europe, as well as on Unattractive Records in May 2007 which released it in Japan. After numerous tours all over Europe, Russia and Canada, and after having shared the stage with bands the like as Mad Caddies, Anti-Flag, The Flatliners, Big D and the Kids Table, Lagwagon, No Use For A Name and The Slackers among others, P.O.Box has just released its second full length, "InBetweenTheLines", mastered by Steve Rizun (Drive Studios, Toronto Canada), and featuring Chris Cresswell (The Flatliners) and Vic Ruggiero (The Slackers) on 2 songs. The band still teams up with Long Beach Records Europe and Guerilla Asso, but the japanese release is out on InYaFace/CR Japan this time. "P.O.Box is a band from Nancy , France , but if they are not the prototype for an international band, who is? Call us fortune tellers, call us prophesiers but you're listening to a band that will hit big-time, that will last a long time and you by far won't be the only one it will accompany from now on." Gernot at Long Beach Records “Musically somewhere between the Mad Caddies, Big D And The Kids Table and Against Me! P.O.BOX are probably THE most European band on our roster.” Henning at Übersee Records “The first three words I think of when reflecting on P.O.BOX are: diverse, sensational and outstanding. Due to the ever changing rugged nature of their music, on paper the complicated mixture of punk, ska and metal riffs shouldn't work but that in my opinion is what makes these guys not just a good band but an immense one. They pull together three very individual genres of music and create auditory bliss. What I like most is their ability to incorporate all these genres equally within every song but not regurgitate the same song more than once; each song is individual to one another and each has something new to offer the listener, and in my case compelling me to listen all the way through the album.” Ben Lang, PHD TOUR |
