BMA ARTIST PROFILE What are your plans for the future? Our goal for 2021 is to release some new tunes and take them on an interstate tour!
What makes you laugh? Myles’s ass (bodacious af). A bit grunge, a bit emo, but absolutely punk, this homegrown pissed off feminist three-piece boast huge tunes that’ll get stuck in your head. And with their support of Sydney grunge-witches BOYSCLUB coming up at The Basement on 12 March, we thought it high time to get fly with Box Dye.
What pisses you off? Mel’s ass (stanky).
Anything else you’d like to add? Artist name and origins: Box Dye - We frequently dye our own hair. It’s cheap and effective for temporarily curbing mental breakdowns (or succumbing to them).
Group members:
Huge thank you to all the fans and bands that have supported us in the last year. We couldn’t be more appreciative.

Melissa Sullivan - Guitar and vocals Alice Worley - Vocals and drums Myles Wrigley - Bass and backing vocals
Describe your sound: Take ‘90s Riot Grrrl, 2000s emo, a pinch of grunge, and a sprinkle of pop and stick it in a blender from Kmart that doesn’t handle ice very well.
Who/What are your influences, musical or otherwise? Positive influences include Green Day, No Doubt, Garbage, and all the bad bitches that we have in our lives. Negative influences include inequality, ignorance, the patriarchy, and anything that makes us more than a bit pissed off.
What are some of the most memorable experiences you’ve had as a band? Lugging our shit up a giant hill for an outdoor show, hoping it would be worth giving our mate an asthma attack, and it ended up being our favourite gig date.
Tell us about one of your proudest moments? Hearing positive feedback from people that see us overwhelms us with proud moments. We’re also particularly proud of how much we achieved as a new band in 2020. Despite COVID, we never slowed down. facebook.com/bmamagazine
