[edit] Biography
Wax on Radio is an American alternative rock band from Chicago, Illinois. Wax on Radio was created in 2004 when singer Mikey Russell, bassist Harrison Taylor, guitarist Bob Buckstaff and drummer Sammy Del Real met in the tiny suburban Chicago music scene, in and around the towns of Schaumburg and Lake Forest. The foursome, who had never before met, came together through the recommendations of mutual friends, when Russell put out the word that he was looking to start a new band. The band was signed to Downtown Records in 2006. Later that year, they released their debut album, Exposition. In early 2007 they toured nationwide in the US opening for Forgive Durden and Brazil,[1] following these dates with a two months of touring nationwide opening for The Ataris.[2] The group received positive reviews from SPIN for their track "Today I Became A Realist"[3] and from Rolling Stone for their live performances.[4]
All four members of Wax on Radio are either vegetarian or vegan.[5]
