Wax "Who is Next"Remember Wax? For weeks, maybe months on end MTV played the hell out of their video for "California" and turned them into superstars overnight. The video was actually really cool... It was directed by Spike Jonze and featured a guy on fire running down a street in slow motion.
Due to the hype machine that was Wax many people ignored the album and the people that did buy it sold it back to the CD store once Wax wasn't cool anymore. This led to piles and piles of CD's in the dollar bin and a band sent into obscurity.
Some of the songs on said album, "13 Unlucky Numbers", were actually pretty good. In the same Ramones/Green Day vein that was norm of the day.
Here's the video:
and here's the song:

I don't like Wax they sound like a blend of Alternative rock meets punk and they dont win at either genre of music. Your right the video is cool and its done by Michael Gondry, and can be seen in his video collection. But hey they ain't my ball of wax son.
The two songs posted are the only ones I really dug.. I think they put out an album this.. I wonder how it is.. They always reminded me of this other band.. 30 Amp Fuse.. but haven't been able to dig up their stuff yet.
