New Jersey has always been a stomping ground for up and coming new talent. Somewhere,
throughout the populated mass, emerged a band called mudBox, hailing from central New Jersey. Since
the birth of mudBox, time has shown the growth of a group that continues to bombard us with their own
style of modern heavy music. Music that is indeed straight from the heart that captures emotions and
expresses them without pulling any punches. It is obvious that it's the hard times that inspire mudBox to
create new music.
After several member changes, it was fate, and a shared vision that brought these four
members together. Being compared to such major acts as Sevendust, and Incubus, it's no wonder the
bands hard-hitting live show is nothing short of intense. Frontman Kevin Schormann verbally assaults
you with his own style of harmony and effusive aggression. Leaving you with powerful, melodic vocals
that blend with the music perfectly. Guitarist Tony Hermosilla fills the spectrum with his earsplitting
tone, uncompromised playing ability, and back-up vocal harmonies. Bass player Joey Crap combines
punchy bottom end, solid bass lines, and growling back-up vocals that drive through you with a massive
approach. And drummer Rob Kubik acts as the perfect counterbalance, playing with unmatched
intensity, and hard hitting, driving beats. As a whole, the creativeness and writing style of mudBox will
leave a scar on any listeners' memory.
Their full length CD, “Dead Comfortable Feeling” was recorded in the summer of 2001 at The
Carriage House Studios in Stamford Conneticut. The CD offers a vast collection of songs satisfying the
most skeptical of listeners, from the blistering opening track, “Face in the crowd”, to the vigorous,
concluding track, “Tolerance”.
In early 2002, mudBox entered the studio to record their new 6 song EP “Becoming”, which
proves to be their finest work to date. “Becoming” indicates the growth and potential of the band,
focusing more on melody and song structure. Opening tracks “This time” and “Temptation” demonstrate
just that, by capturing both of these elements, and more. Track 3, “Letting Go”, is a musical journey that
holds no boundries or limitations, and expresses true emotion in its most raw form. The title track,
“Becoming” is a perfect example of a good, solid rock song that will have you in a groove in no time.
Closing tracks “Far Away” and “Headtrip” are proof that mudBox stay true to their roots with their
unique combination of musical styles.
Still straying from the rap/metal crossover, and living in an age where the 4 piece band seems to be a
dying breed, mudBox continues to push the envelope even further, and prove that less…..is more.
