Back before the pandemic, the DIY hardcore punk group Haircut frequently graced the Central Virginia house show scene. Witnessing their musical journey from their initial performances, it was evident how they honed their craft over the years. While Haircut’s last release was the 2019 EP Sensation, news broke that three former Haircut members have banded together to form a new musical endeavor.
Their new project, Box, boasts an even more obscure name than Haircut, but their demo has been making waves online for a few weeks now. The high-energy hardcore punk sound of Box is just as intense and commanding as Haircut’s. The band’s debut features five tracks, each lasting under two minutes, with the final song, “Unaware,” already gaining traction as a potential anthem. Fans of Gel are encouraged to give Box a listen. Check out their demo below.
