about

From Iowa Hardcore Blogspot:

"Big Box is a grungy punk band from Iowa City. The band consists of A. Havlin on drums, G. Jackson on bass, A. Luksetich on guitar, and C. Samek saying shit into the mic. Each and every one of them is and has been in other bands in the Iowa City area that you should probably check out (The Tanks, Supersonic Piss, etc.), but that's not why we are gathered here today.

If I remember correctly, Big Box formed later in the Spring of or early in the Summer of 2010. When exactly it was really doesn't matter. What does matter is the crunchy, fuzzy and fucked tunes this band makes with completely depraved vocals over it all. There's definitely an early Nirvana (and other Pacific Northwest bands) meets Black Flag vibe going on, with hints of black metal in the riffage. It's nasty, that's for sure, so you know G.G. is a big influence.

After playing through the Summer and into the Fall and developing their mean live set, the band procured the help of David Earl to help them record their self titled demo. In November of 2010, the band recorded 5 licentious tracks in the Hall Mall of downtown Iowa City and released them on tape on Sunday, January 23 at the Blue Moose Tap House with Aseethe and Enabler. All art created by Donnie Bandy."
