Sounds Like REVIEWS
"On 2006's Golden EP, Raleigh-based quartet Boxbomb outlined a peculiar brand of melodic grunge laced with hard rock.... The band's first full-length, My Obsession, finds Boxbomb looking to expand on and improve on the sounds from Golden, building from their grunge base with an ambitious span of assorted genres including country and blues" -The Independent

"Boxbomb are an experience to behold. Their live performance has made them one the most respected acts in North Carolina today. Musically the band sounds like early Smashing Pumpkins and Radiohead (circa-The Bends) mixed the melodies and atmosphere of Coldplay or U2 (circa-Joshua Tree). Boxbomb is a rock n roll band that cares about more than just the after-party. They create songs with depth and meaning, while avoiding the manifesto approach that many political-rockers take. To put it simply: Boxbomb is good. Very good." -ArtBarSC.com

"While this album is filled with all kinds of musical goodness (check out the stunning guitar work on one of the album's best tracks, "Get What You Pay For"), there is substance to go along with it. Some of the content is dark and while not all of it is hopeful, it's honest. Whether Gustafson is singing about his desire to get out of his own way or to try and find the direction he's supposed to be heading in, there's a contemplative tone the lyrics. The title track almost sounds like his life motto: 'I don't want to change all my obsessions/ Or let them fade into nothing/ I don't want to live by obligation/ Cuz who we are is who we are/ All we are is who we are.'" -Stereosubversion.com

"Modern rock with progressive, artistic flairs and a very charismatic vocalist in Ryan Gustafson. It's a fraction too smart to get played on the radio, yet it is polished enough for anyone to enjoy on the first listen - and there is some spectacular guitarwork on 'Not The Same.' .....3.5 out of 4 stars!" -Alternative Press

   About Boxbomb

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.

Boxbomb's first full length, My Obsession, is a blend of homage and originality that is breath of fresh air. Drawing upon influences that range from Radiohead to Ryan Adams, My Obsession never sounds like any one of its influences at one time. Simply put, My Obsession is a rock record without the overused formulas of modern radio or any MTV trends. Boxbomb's debut finds a young band exploring complex issues of war, peace, love, and humanity. If you want nasal-driven vocals, whining of a lost high school relationship, please look elsewhere. My Obsession is a dark journey with intelligently themed songs, but you don't need a PhD to appreciate it.

Anyone who plays your music at home should do so through GOOD headphones. It's the only way, and that's all I have to say about that. :)
