Some songs need no explanation. They pop because they pop. They rock because they rock. Such is the case with "Hole in My Head" from the Jay Reatard approved band, Box Elders. Sounding like an old, worn 7" recovered from the bottom of a stack of long forgotten '60s wax, or the follow up single the La's never recorded to "There She Goes," it's the quintessential, perfect pop song.

Box Elders at the Funhouse, Seattle | 9 February 2009 They returned to Seattle at least. Everyone is anxiously awaiting a new Box Elders record these days, but lucky for Seattle the band were doing a short swing through the northwest and returned to the Funhouse Monday night. What a difference seven months make! They sounded much tighter and actually seemed to add a bit of finesse to the songs. There was no fire shooting from their guitars this time, but the songs jumped out [...]

Box Elders - "Hole In My Head" I was scratching my just yesterday wondering where this track in my iTunes library, Box Elders - "Hole In My Head," came from- then today, out of the blue, another copy of the track shows up in my email inbox. Okay, universe, I can take a cosmic hint, enough already. Let's get straight to the point-- Box Elders : from Omaha, Nebraska. Short, hooky, garagey (they call it "cave pop") tunes. Jay Reatard and Gerard C. are both big [...]

The Box Elders, you may not have heard of them, but they're solid. They have a dirty sound that recalls both 60s psychedelia and punk. A blend that is both unique and palatable. I believe the show will be a perfect cap for a Monday.

It also comes in many shades, with colored vinyl showing up almost as much [...]

It all starts with Crayon , who were the loudest, most raucous, and lowest-of-fi on ...One Last Kiss. They came from Bellingham, Washington which is about a three hour drive north from Seattle. They may have been heavily influenced [...]
