The Indobox : Adventure Rock

Self-released

The Indobox has made a name for itself over the past few years as a late-night favorite on the livetronica circuit, but Adventure Rock might be the record that establishes the Boston-based group as a respected recording entity. Like many acts in its scene, vocals are not its forte, but where The Indobox falls short with lyrics, the quartet makes up for it with intricate instrumental arrangements that demonstrates a knack for compositions that are both catchy and technically proficient. Adventure Rock showcases a penchant for conceptual recording, with a consistent sound that listeners can follow from album opener “Track One” to the final track “Cinema For Children.”

I didn’t have any trouble with the Musicane weidgt in Firefox on Linux. I payed though, maybe the free download is more problematic.I still haven’t seen Butch live. I’m always bust when he hits the DC area. Maybe next time

Who would ever waste their money supporting this band ? Indobox is terrible, I hope I never have to hear their awful, wannabe Disco Biscuits crap again at another festival. I mean really, really, sucky
