If reviewers such as Hollywood Digest, Dancing About Architecture, Indie Pulse Music, Woke Chimp, and Vents Magazine provide any indication, the L.A. indie-rock/pop group Dizzy Box Nine uses elements of “innate intuition” to create music that is “invigorating and moving” and blends “West Coast punk/rock charm” with “80s new wave,” “pop-punk,” and “alt-rock” stylistics, creating “authentic” music that is “warm like the Venice Beach sidewalks.” Dizzy Box Nine has been compared to bands such as the Refreshments, Jimmy Eat World, the Police, Enanitos Verdes, RHCP, and MxPx. Dizzy Box Nine has crafted its own signature sound that is unique and stands on its own.
Dizzy Box Nine was created in the summer of 2016 by singer-guitarist Randy Ludwig, and features guitarist Tony Robles, drummer Amos Przekaza, and Joaquin Sierra on bass. On October 15th 2021, they released the album Last Call Before the Fall. This is the follow-up to Faster Than Anticipation, which peaked at #176 on the college radio charts, where it remained in the top 250 for seven straight weeks! Last Call Before the Fall features 12 unique tracks, that all interestingly fit together to reveal different angles of a melodic journey. Yet, “this is not just a collection of catchy 3-chord pop songs, there’s actually an interesting level of depth, melodicism, and authenticity to these songs” (L.A. Music Press). To date, Last Call Before the Fall has peaked at #165 on the college radio charts, and was hovering around the top 200 for six straight weeks!
Singer-guitarist Randy Ludwig says, “we strive to create songs that feel good to listen to, but we also strive to create pictures and images with our lyrics and with our sounds. We want to connect with the listener in meaningful ways, while still creating something that feels good to listen to.” He continues, “a good song can serve as a time-travel device, sometimes taking you into the past, and at other times taking you into the future.”
