Hear Fang Island talk about the crazy night in Greenville where they first met Univox in an interview with 402 Productions! Keg parties, grizzly looking moms, furniture bonfires?
Then check both bands out on May 27 at The Barbary in Philly. We caught them last month at Maxwell’s in Hoboken (no jokin’) and let’s just say that you cannot afford to miss this show, Philadelphia! Duuuuuuuuude.
Details after the jump… (more…)

The press are digging the album!!
Philly City Paper says:
Maybe it’s that dirty garage sound offset by those mesmerizing, multi-tiered vocals (everybody sings! at once sometimes!), or maybe it’s the dark, smirking lyrics. Not sure, but there’s something really right about the way this Philly four-piece thinks rock ‘n’ roll should sound. Univox’s new self-titled debut is an ambitious and confident opening statement: clever, Kinksy, punky, poppy and pretty, but not too pretty, you know?
Baby Sue says:
Hard-hitting aggressive underground pop/rock… Some of these songs are surprisingly complex in terms of vocal melodies and arrangements. Hard to say whether or not these guys’ intent is to avoid being pigeonholed but on this album they have succeeded in doing so… Cool music with a different sort of kick. TOP PICK.
Verbicide says:
A little bit of Iggy Pop influenced vocals, some driving garage rock beats, and some prevalent four-part harmonies make up the main ingredients for the debut album from Univox.
More press for your reading pleasure after the jump, but we also just wanted to remind you that Univox are also playing tonight at Maxwell’s in Hoboken (no jokin’!) with the “life-affirming and infectious” Fang Island (Pitchfork said it, not me) and “kaleidoscopic kraut-rock(ers)” Dinowalrus (to quote the New Yorker).
