We are super, super, super, suuuuuuuper stoked to announce that Univox’s debut self-titled album is now available from all good digital retailers!!
You can purchase Univox’s Univox on:
 
Try it before you buy it!
Download a free MP3 of “Pi” & stream the entire album
at univoxtheband.com
The CD is available at shows & will be in all good record stores May 11, 2010.
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).

UNIVOX
Univox
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... |

BAD COP
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. Read more... |

Their new album finds the band in familiar territory; pulsing Krautrock, dark and sinister pop and epic post-industrial soundscapes.
