"Gloriously messy guitar rock from Milwaukee. Prime melodic pop songs lurk beneath this band's fucked-up veneer, but I suspect there'll be time for that later. For now, it's petulant, buried vocals; blitzed in-the-red guitars covering the songs like a thick molasses; and a stance that toggles between pissed and bored ... the band practically implodes with big, echoey, trashy riffage." -- Pop Culture Press Suburban Milwaukee is filled to the brim with young bands that love anything noisy and/or spastic. Standing with cocked heads and shrugged shoulders above that pack are The Box Social, who write smart pop songs with sharp hooks that cut through the feedback and the falling-over-oneself.
The Box Social was formed in 2001 by high school sophomores Nick Junkunc and Brian Peoplis, soon adding lead guitarist Nick Woods (current bassist Dave Griesbach joined in 2006). A series of selfreleased EPs brought attention from around the Midwest, drawing comparisons to the Replacements and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Milwaukee label No Karma came on board for 2005's Blown to Bits, which earned glowing reviews, and its success enabled the band to tour the US several times over the next two years. The band quickly began writing a follow-up, Get Going, which was recorded at Chicago Recording Company with Dave Rieley and mastered by Trevor Sadler at Mastermind Productions.
The first single, "Big T," packs the same tightness and pummeling melody of their previous work with the maturity and sincerity of a DIY band coming into its own. Released at the end of February, the single's online sales are quickly demanding a second pressing.
