Artist History Joybox began innocently enough; a fresh-faced high school kid strumming a few heartfelt chords in his bedroom. As time passed, the Joybox grew in power, and eventually it was far stronger than the sad young boy and his guitar. The Joybox now had full control, and wasn't satisfied. Years have passed since then, and countless musicians have been chewed up and tossed aside by the maniacal machine. Finally there are five brave enough to stand up to the Joybox, battling the monster with menacing melodies and shiny pop hooks. Will they succeed? Or will the Joybox toss these poor souls aside as well? Stay tuned to find out...

Group Members Currently passing through JOYBOX are Michael Baltzer, Joe Serkoch, John Brewton, Alicia Jayourba, and Joshua Pollock...? Michael sings with Alicia, shares guitars with Joseph. Joshua graciously provides low end supported by John (tasting pink glitter, vanilla, lavender).
