We've been called "alt-indy-pop-rock" and I think that's the closest anyone's ever gotten to describing what we sound like...
"Dudes, I am SUCH a sucker for chimey guitars, especially when those jangly tones lock horns with powerful throaty vocals. In that regard, Boxcar Collision’s Tom Van Veen (guitars) and Ashlee Wilcox (vox) pose a double threat. With that kind of firepower, every song is consistently pretty with a sort of well-heeled grit — kinda like the band aims to rock your socks off, but they’re really polite about it." -
Low Budget Superhero.
"Boxcar Collision -despite their name-never jumps the tracks." - Kingston Daily Freeman.
"Indie alt-pop foursome, Boxcar Collision, will get you up and moving with their catchy lyrics and lead singer Ashlee Wilcox’s melodic vocals" - DCist.
"Catchy vocal stylings are the strength of the local indie alt-pop foursome." - Washington Post.
