Deep within the confines of a small town in Oregon starts a 4-piece band. Originated in 1998 hotboxed has had the same lineup since the beginning. After many years of practicing in the same enclosed space with no windows the band began to start writing songs about being trapped and suffocating. Many of these feelings are still very much apart of the motivation for hotboxed songs. After many shows in their home town hotboxed has moved up to the larger city Portland Oregon, where the band currently resides. The first demo released simply titled “hotboxed” is a raw example of how hotboxed feeds off emotion and translates it into a swirling array of sound. With songs like defiance that is an anthem for anyone that is sick of being told what to do. And whose blood, a song that vividly describes what it can feel like to be pushed over the edge. hotboxed is currently planning a new album and has been cutting a new path for the band to follow. This can be assured hotboxed will continue to feed, and continue to bring you their results.
