Stalking Roxy
joined LA's underground music scene in early 2001, with youth on
their side and the love of punk, alternative rock, and bright third-wave
ska in their hearts. Lead by Deziree Zuniga, a powerful and charismatic
front woman, this 6-piece band has created the catchiest, ska-influenced
music to have left California since the third-wave ska boom. Stalking
Roxy's heavy lean on rock while still blasting away with intense
horns instantly brings comparisons to No Doubt, Save Ferris, and
Mealticket yet the band maintains the ska feel throughout
with nods to Reel Big Fish, Mustard Plug and Catch 22.
After releasing their first six song
EP, 'Jake's Fury,' in June of 2002, Staling Roxy was asked to be
part of American Ska history with the track "Ska Band"
appearing on the STILL STANDING 4xCD box set (5000+ copies). Soon
after, Stalking Roxy toured California extensively and truly found
a voice all their own - conquering Los Angeles and Orange County
by way of The Knitting Factory, El Rey Theatre, Whisky, Roxy, Allen
Theatre, Troubador, Viper Room, and legendary all-ages mecca Chain
Reaction. Staling Roxy¹s debut 11-track album "Look In The
Mirror" shows how far these SoCal kids have come in 3 short
years catchy emotional lyrics, tight musicianship, a grinding
rhythm section topped off by commanding, emotional vocals. Ska-influenced
punk has outlived the "trend" moniker through hard working
bands like Stalking Roxy, and the band plans to tour extensively
in 2004 taking them far outside California to thousands of
eager new ska fans. Be a part of this great beginning!
