Roxy Epoxy (and the rebound)


Once upon a time, there was this band.
They were known as The Epoxies.
They played music that could only be explained as punked up New Wave goodness. They were highly underrated. They released two of New Wave's best albums and several EP's on various indie labels.
Sadly, they broke up earlier this year. I, along with many, many of their fans, was incredibly sad that they wouldn't release more music or have their music get the proper attention it deserved.

On the bright side, though, the lead singer, Roxy Epoxy, is releasing a solo record!
And judging from the demos and the songs from the album that she's been rotating on her myspace, it's gonna be fucking rad!

This is what she said in a blog on her myspace about the full length album:
"
The artwork and masters are complete and sent. It looks like it will be released in March. We are currently planning a tour for March as well. More info as I get it. K?"
So I, along with a couple of friends and many of her fans, will be looking forward to listening to what she has to offer on her solo album come March. Judging from the label that she has listed in her myspace, and a blog I read about her sending the music there, it seems that she'll be releasing the album through Metropolis records, which is the label that released The Epoxies' ep "My New World." Upon the release of her album, Roxy Epoxy (And the rebound) will start touring California, with added tour dates as it gets closer to the start of the tour.

You can listen to some of the demos and a song from the album (she tends to rotate them, so it won't be the same one all the time) on her myspace here.
You can also check out her blog where she writes about her solo album, life, and everything in between here.
