[7-piece french ska-punk] 
A History of P.O.BOX
P.O.BOX was formed in 2001. Since then the band have been on intensive touring through Europe (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy, Sweden…) increasing their reputation of having an “explosive stage performance". 150 shows have been done by the band since its beginning.
The band went on 3 tours: Belgium (June 2002), Europe (July 2003) and Europe again (July 2004) where they played some of the biggest European festivals such as Dour (B), Tabuns (LV), Wasted (UK)…
Their 1st demo-cd “Fartcore” and 1st split-cd “We are all in the gutter…” have been released on PioProd (France) and sold to 2.000 issues each without any distribution deal. This means the band sold its cds only on shows... Quite impressive!
Signed on Winged Skull Records (Luxembourg) in June 2004, the guys released their 1st EP “Rock my reality” and went once again on a huge european tour for 5 weeks which was an awesome success. In October 2004, the band signed on Power Pop Records (UK) and got sponsorship from Shisha True Wear (D).
Their touring has made them play with bands the like as Ska-P (SP), Burning Heads (F), Flying Donuts (F), Rasta Bigoud (F), Second Rate (F), Les Caméléons (F), Nothing More (F), Scarface (F), The Slackers (USA), The Skatalites (J), Big D and the Kids Table (USA), 46 Itchy (UK), Five Days Off (B), Convict (B), Hangin’Out (B), Shandon (IT), Karamelo Santo (AR), Face Tomorrow (NL),Panteon Rococo (MEX), Against Time (NL), Toybomb (DK), Evilsons (FIN), Skin of Tears (D), Convict (B), Oversized (B), Belvedere (CAN), D-Sailors (D)…
P.O.BOX benefits of excellent criticism and of a great fan based aread in Europe, thanx to their willing of touring, touring and touring more and more.
Influenced by bands such as Capdown, Sublime, Less than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Mad Caddies, Rx Bandits and so on, the guys are ready to rock everywhere they can!
