SunboX-The Passion is Here!

About Me

Based in Chelmsford, London and Colchester,UK..Sunbox formed in 1991, and have recorded 5 albums, and are currently working on their 6th,at their own new studio.The band have always drafted in guest musicians, to add to their ever changing, evolving sound. Serious interest from Polygram(1992-93), and Virgin Records(1995-), as well as reviews in the National music press(melody maker etc)keep the band striving forward. No gigs are planned until the 6th album is finished,despite some big offers..2005 saw the band getting radio airplay,interviews, & EDITORS CHOICE AND REVIEW AT DOWNLOAD.COM..
