The Box Social were a band often described as pop rock, and sometimes as a grunge revival.[1] Critics have compared their sound to Smashing Pumpkins, Franz Ferdinand and Lou Reed,[2] with some songs compared positively to AC/DC[1] and others negatively to Weezer.[3] Critics praised Nick Woods' vocals, noting that he actually sings rather than screaming,[1] and comparing his vocals to Jack White.[4] Woods now plays in Direct Hit.[5]
