Univox is The Deli’s CD of the Month!!
Posted on August 3rd, 2010 in press | Permalink

We couldn’t be prouder to announce that Univox’s first full-length has been chosen as The Deli’s CD of the month! Congrats, guys!

With a sound that deserves to be heard through arena stacks, this quartet creates epic rock anthems, but it’s more than just power chords and guitar riffs from below the waist (well, opener “Pi” is a little bit). Led by their radio-ready vocals and the strong backbone drumming of Boersma, Univox combine monster pop hooks and straight-up pedal-to-the-floor rock with such theatrical flare that you can’t help but be swept away over the top with them.

Read the entire review here. Also check out some great photos of the band from a recent show in State College, PA here.

Univox debut new video for “Pi”
Posted on March 26th, 2010 in press | Permalink


Directed by Univox’s own Josh Jones:

“The concept for the Pi video came to me the same way my songs normally do: IN A VISION FROM GOD! So I wrote down the vision as a video treatment, and then, after reading it, God sent me an estimate for how much it should cost: $110.”

The video is dedicated to the late music British journalist Steven Wells, who while writing for the Philadelphia Weekly challenged the band to make a video.

>> Dig the music? You can download the track “Pi” for free here.

Univox are also going to be on the radio this afternoon doing a live set & interview on WZMB 91.3FM in Greenville, NC. Tune in at 4pm!

CD
Philly City Paper says: Univox's crusty power-driven pop, which incorporates the noisily melodic elements of Sonic Youth with the frenetic splintered pace of The Stooges and a touch of Motown swing, is easily imaginable coming from car windows on a summer's night. Read more...

Harvest the Beast

CD
Sep 14, 2010

IMPOSE MAGAZINE says: This wigged-out, cleverly-named Nashville trio must have been on some kind of collective bender when they recorded this zinger of an album, because they got some kind of “lightning in a bottle” shit going on here the likes of which you don’t roll into all that often. It’s a soulful, greasy, howlin’ whiteboy kind of rant-rock that’s even greater than the sum of all its crazy parts, a frantic, no-holds-barred, “fuck the rules” kind of album that we desperately need right now.
