Often associated with such fierce and striking artists as Karen O, Siouxsie Sioux, and Chrissie Hynde, Roxy Epoxy made a lasting impact on the punk and indie community in her former band, The Epoxies. Now, freshly rejuvenated and ready to tackle the music industry with both fists and a great set of pipes, Roxy embarks on the next chapter of her musical career with her newly-minted band Roxy Epoxy And The Rebound. Their new album Band-Aids On Bullet Holes gets released on March 10, 2009 via Metropolis Records. "I think The Rebound are a bit more introspective than The Epoxies," explains Roxy. "The music is more intricate and is a bit more rock than pop. When the Epoxies broke up, I had a ton of material at different states of completion and finally had the time to dig into it. I had wanted to head in a slightly different direction for a while. This is the result." This result is a dynamic album of punkified New Wave and synth-infused rock that stomps when it should skip and gallops when it should sway. The herky-jerky pop Banshee-esque goodness of "New Way" hearkens the early anarchic days of the London Underground, while the thrusting and velvet-texture of "I Know I Know" adds atmosphere and drenches it with drama. The melodic infectiousness of "Dependence Leads Your Fortune" is a propulsive and explosive stunner with meandering keyboards and swirling guitars, punctuated with Roxy's extremely distinctive vocals. "I think I am most proud of 'Dependence Leads Your Fortune'," she says. "I just feel it's the strongest song I've written so far... I've only been writing and performing music since late 2000,".
