Wax on Radio was signed to
Downtown Records in 2006. Later that year, they released their debut album,
Exposition. In early 2007, they toured nationwide in the US opening for
Forgive Durden and
Brazil, following these dates with two months of touring nationwide, opening for
The Ataris. The group received positive reviews from
SPIN for their track "Today I Became A Realist" and from
Rolling Stone for their live performances. Wax On Radio was signed by
Downtown Records in 2007, but was less than satisfied with the terms of their contract. That led to a break-up of the band until the contract expired. The band's Internet postings say that they have over forty new songs ready to be record, and ten will be released on their next album, which has yet to be named. The band has also added Luke Dent from
The Dear Hunter (TDH) as a keyboardist. All four members of Wax on Radio are either
vegetarian or
vegan. Wax on Radio disbanded in October 2008, due to musical differences. Many members of the band have moved on to other projects. Mikey Russell started the band Suns, who played their first show at the Metro in Chicago in January 2010. Luke Dent moved on to create the band Meadowlarks. ==Discography==
