-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -=-=-Hate in the Box is candy-coated horror rock --- a five piece, all-live, whirl-a-gig of musical mayhem; a perfect picture of innocence lost and childhood memories shattered. Blaspheming the boundaries of the NYC underground, their music is often likened to punk, rock, goth, and industrial while angering the purists of each! Theatrical and comical, they are an anime rock band brought to monstrous life, with a frontwoman that's a cross between gothic lolita and Tank Girl.

This is music for people who like things that don't fit into one neat little compartment: dollies of doom who want to ROCK! Live shows are the strongest weapon in the Hate in the Box arsenal; a travelling spookfest featuring colorful costumes, candy-filled bondage bunnies, mysterious goodie bags, edible brains and rockin' tunes to bring your twisted inner child to life

"nothing short of brilliantly combined polar opposites fused together, twisted and turned, sliced and mended into an audio-visual work of art"
-- Candy For Bad Children"a delightfully wicked blend of raw aggressive rock and twisted nightmares"
-- Dark Realms Magazine"the raw, basic tendrils of Hate In The Box flail and glue themselves to petrified onlookers so easily"
-- Mick Mercer"Blight's powerful and emotionally charged vocals suck you into a world of razorblades that make the tears of dolls run red "
-- Memo Juez"NYC's screech n' burn, goth-dustrial brat rock apocalypse "
-- Sleazegrinder

Optimus Crime - A multi-talented Mad Scientist with an honorary degree in Audio Terror.

Rainbow Blight- " a whole new breed of front woman- she’s beyond sexy, beyond violent, she’s pure electricity -out of control technology and 21st century panic made flesh" - The New York Waste.
The artist behind the visuals, art, album covers and costumes of Hate in the Box Rainbow Blight also writes all of the lyrical madness she unleashes at live performances.

Teddy Krueger- A nightmarish combination of childhood toy and menacing monster, Teddy is the final piece to our puzzle and the most mysterious. Look for him in your dreams or come to one of our shows to see him rocking out on guitar!

Lil’ Johnny Hyde- This sGhoulboi gone wrong uses the bass as his instrument of choice, and as a handy bludgeoning tool!
