BOXBOMB began in the spring of 2003, finding all of its members under the age of 21. During this post-hardcore era many of their contemporaries explored the “emo” style, or the various forms of indie rock. Boxbomb, however, chose another route: early 90’s grunge/alt rock, using the inspiration and successes of those before them. Their self-released “Golden EP” (2005) paid homage to such bands as Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead (circa The Bends), and other late 20th century greats.
