The Epoxies

The Epoxies were a punk rock/new wave band from Portland, Oregon, known for their explosive live performances, retro-futuristic aesthetic, and a sound that fused punk energy with synth-heavy, 1980s-inspired melodies. Formed in the early 2000s, the band was fronted by Roxy Epoxy and featured members with stage names that reflected their sci-fi and kitschy DIY sensibility. Their music combined sharp guitars with vintage synthesizers, drawing comparisons to bands like Devo and The Screamers, while maintaining a distinctly modern and rebellious edge.

They released their self-titled debut album in 2002 and followed up with Stop the Future in 2005, both of which helped them gain a devoted fan base in the punk and alternative scenes. Songs like "Synthesized" and "My New World" showcased their knack for catchy hooks mixed with dystopian themes and robotic flair. Though the band eventually disbanded, The Epoxies left a lasting impression with their unique genre-blending sound and vibrant visuals.
