The Box Social

BETTER THAN DILLY BARS

About Me


Gathering influence from a variety of artists ranging from Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers to Sonic Youth, Madison, WI local band The Box Social has come a long way since their humble beginnings as scrappy young lads banging out their noisy pop tunes in Milwaukee punk basements. Their hooky, energetic songwriting coupled with exciting live performances has earned them the reputation of a promising young band that you simply cannot ignore. Their debut album "Get Going" is available now for your consumption and enjoyment.
