Zox is the name of a band from Providence, Rhode Island. They are self described as a violin laced rock reggae punk band that is well known in the Northeastern United States. The band consists of four members: namesake John Zox (drums), Eli Miller (guitar, vocals), Spencer Swain (violin, vocals), Dan Edinberg (bass, vocals); the four came together at Brown University in 1999. Their debut album, Take Me Home, was released in 2003. They have opened for bands such as The Black Eyed Peas, O.A.R., Rusted Root, Everclear, Dispatch, and Guster.

Characterized by blistering violin melodies, a pulsing backbeat, sophisticated arrangements, and the poignant and personal songwriting of a hapless romantic, the band's unique sound has won followers across the tyrannical boundaries of genre. Described by some as a cross between The Cure, Fugazi, The Police, and Beethoven, ZOX's distinctive style is at once remarkably innovative and surprisingly familiar.
