ZOX_BAND_OFFICIAL

Direct from the basement of a Brown University dorm, ZOX burst onto the Providence, RI music scene in 1998 like a locomotive at full steam. For the next decade, that well-oiled engine would power through the United States and Europe, performing over 250 shows per year and sharing stages with acts like The Black Eyed Peas, The Roots, Common, O.A.R., Flogging Molly, Gogol Bordello, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Rusted Root, Streetlight Manifesto, OK GO, Everclear, Dispatch, Live, Guster, Matisyahu, and The Bravery. With unrivaled energy and genre-defying performances, the quartet—consisting of namesake John Zox (drums), Eli Miller (guitar, vocals), Spencer Swain (violin), and Dan Edinberg (bass)—landed spots at the UK’s Reading and Leeds Festivals, Germany's Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, Italy’s Rock the Week (alongside NoFx, Rise Against, and Coheed and Cambria), NovaRock Austria, and Switzerland's Greenfield Festival. They have been a featured artist at South By Southwest, have had film and television placements ("The Real World”, “Road Rules”, Micheal Moore's “Slacker Uprising”, etc.) and have toured on the Vans Warped Tour, America’s largest traveling music festival. In 2005, after ranking on Billboard’s and CMJ’s top charts, ZOX signed with SideOneDummy Records (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Gaslight Anthem, Flogging Molly) who was attracted to the band not just because of their music, but also their hard-hitting approach to grassroots D.I.Y. promotion. That same year they signed with Foundations Artist Management (Young the Giant, Owl City, Dispatch) and CAA Booking Agency (AC/DC, Aerosmith, Beyoncé). Since 2001, ZOX has released four full length albums, four EPs, eight singles, and a dozen music videos, together selling 100,000 copies, garnering millions of annual streams, and fueling periodic—and raucous—reunion concerts.
