Greek post-punk act Boxes Of Blow finally have their debut album out: ‘Dystopia’
Boxes of Blow were founded in the Summer of 2016 when Thodoris Koutsogiannis and Alexios Othon Theodoridis met at a festival playing with different projects each other. What followed was a brand new project melting post-punk, darkwave and noise sounds.
A self-released EP followed but the evolution of the band was interrupted by the pandemic. Until now that is as. “Dystopia”, out now via the Brazilian label Wave Records, contains all the work they recorded between 2016 and 2021 plus a cover of the PIL track “This is not a Love Song”.
Check out the videoclip for “Wall of Dreams”.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
