ETHICAL WARNING
We're not running the race of getting more and more friends... We found it totally silly and pointless that some people/bands randomly add other people/bands. Getting as many "friends" as possible is definitely not our goal.
We work hard, tour hard, do what we love, and we're not one of those bands who think they can get famous by adding people.
However we message people who we think should be interested in our music/message: being an indie band, internet is the only way for us to promote our music.
Then for sure, when people/bands add us, we feel honored; we only hope that those people will take some time to have a look at who we are, what we do, what we think, and that they're not adding us only for adding one more "friend" to their list.
Anyway, if you're reading this line, you're probably not the kind of people described above, and we thank you for the time you're spending on our page. We hope you like what you're listening, reading, seeing... And we would be glad to get a comment, message or friend request from you.

WE ARE A BAND
"This band rocks and this band has a message!"
2001, Nancy, France: P.O.BOX plays its very first gigs in France. Since then, the band has been on intensive touring through Europe, increasing its reputation of having an “explosive stage performance”.
After having released a demo-cd (‘Fartcore', 2001) and a split-cd (‘We are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars', 2002), the band signs on Winged Skull Records for the release of their first EP (‘Rock my reality') in 2004.
Thousands and thousands of kilometers spent on European roads lead the band to record their debut-album ‘…And the Lipstick Traces' and to sign in April 2007 on Long Beach Records Europe, Übersee Records and Guerilla Asso who release this long-awaited full length in Europe, as well as on Unattractive Records in May 2007 who release it in Japan.
"P.O.Box is a band from Nancy , France , but if they are not the prototype for an international band, who is? Call us fortune tellers, call us prophesiers but you're listening to a band that will hit big-time, that will last a long time and you by far won't be the only one it will accompany from now on."
Gernot at Long Beach Records
“Musically somewhere between the Mad Caddies, Big D And The Kids Table and Against Me! P.O.BOX are probably THE most European band on our roster.”
Henning at Ãœbersee Records
“The first three words I think of when reflecting on P.O.BOX are: diverse, sensational and outstanding. Due to the ever changing rugged nature of their music, on paper the complicated mixture of punk, ska and metal riffs shouldn't work but that in my opinion is what makes these guys not just a good band but an immense one. They pull together three very individual genres of music and create auditory bliss. What I like most is their ability to incorporate all these genres equally within every song but not regurgitate the same song more than once; each song is individual to one another and each has something new to offer the listener, and in my case compelling me to listen all the way through the album.”
Ben Lang, PHD
