=======================
Since the release of their debut album, Take Me Home (Armo
Records), in 2003, Providence, RI based ZOX has emerged as one
of the most promising and original new bands on the New
England scene. Characterized by blistering violin melodies, a
pulsing backbeat, sophisticated arrangements, and the poignant
and personal songwriting of a hapless romantic, the band's
diverse sound has won followers across the tyrannical
boundaries of genre. In addition, the band's intensely
physical, sweat-soaked live show has attracted loyal fans and
curious onlookers alike, drawing faithful crowds to clubs and
colleges throughout the eastern U.S.
Fueled by opening slots for acts like The Black Eyed Peas,
O.A.R., Rusted Root, Everclear, Dispatch, Guster and The
Warped Tour 2004, features on MTV's The Real World and Road
Rules, a top running single on Providence's WBRU, and nearly
400 shows in two years, Take Me Home has sold more than 12,000
Soundscan-verified copies. Determined management from Shawn
Radley (Howie Day) and the band's fervent touring have helped
to increase its fanbase exponentially; more than 1,100 fans
attend shows at Providence's Lupo's and the ZOX mailing list
has almost 15,000 subscribers. Take Me Home also caught the
ear of critics, and was named one of the top 10 albums of the
year by both the Providence Phoenix and the Providence
Journal. Relix magazine called ZOX "a sophisticated quartet
that delivers a vibrant, thinking man's brand of hook-laden
rock", the Boston Globe called the band's music "odd but
endearing", the Northapmton Valley Advocate lauded "a sound
like little you've everheard... soaring and triumphant", and
The Village Voice described violinist Spencer Swain as
"channeling everyone from Papa John Creach to Eddie Van
Halen."
In the summer of 2005, Armo Records plans to release ZOX's
much anticipated follow-up album, The Wait. Produced by Ted
Comerford and mixed by Mitch Easter (REM, Wilco, Pavement),
The Wait explores the band's darker, edgier side, capturing
the passionate performances and intricate composition of a
band on the brink of bigger things.
