Since 1999 the fourpiece SOAPBOX from the Odenwald ( South-Hesse ) is producing unique Alternative Rock with a mixture of beautiful melodies and noisy bits. Calm, atmospheric parts are erupting in mighty guitar walls. Between hooks and catchy melodies you’ll always find noisy and brutal bits, which leads to very varied and dynamic sound. Especially on stage SOAPBOX already left their mark. Among many headlining shows there are successfull support shows for acts like Mother Tongue, Blackmail, Amplifier, Biffy Clyro, Emil Bulls and British Sea Power. Beside that Soapbox played a show at the german BIZARRE Festival in 2002.
In March 2007 the band will be touring again to promote their new "Lost Gravity"-EP and of course they will complete the recordings for their new full length album which the guys are currently working on in the bands own studio.
