“‘Mobocracy’ is certainly an interesting release. Short and sweet, it is a curious piece of work which echoes Devin on more than one occasion. I still don’t know the answer. Who the fuck is Wax Mekanix? It may be worth leaving this veteran artist have the final words. ‘History shows us that artists will not let this kind of tectonic shift in American life pass without comment. I’m just commenting now.'” – The Razors Edge

“If you look at this release, which contains six songs, you have to say that there is actually something for everyone. A nice mix of genres that can please.” – Tough Magazine

“You may not know who Wax Mekanix is at first but come the end, you won’t be forgetting him anytime soon.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“It’s unashamedly old-school, classic rock with an experimental, avantgarde twist; syncopated, eastern rhythms mix with time honored hard rock riffage to form an overblown, bombastic metal spectacular.” – Powerplay Magazine

Waxim “Wax” Ulysses Mekanix is an American musician, songwriter, performer, producer, and founding member of American cult rockers Nitro. Wax’s vetted perspective and tested work can best be described as raw, bold, uncompromising, authentic, and disconcerting. “Mobocracy” is Wax’s new release with Philadelphia based record label, Electric Talon Records.

Out of a radically transformed America comes a statement from a veteran artist that’s of and for its time. A focused collection of strident, aggressive, snarling, howling songs that draws on Wax’s decades of experience and influences. So, why an album now about a convulsing America? “History shows us that artists will not let this kind of tectonic shift in American life pass without comment. I’m just commenting now.”

“While new artists strive to cultivate vintage connective tissue to fuse themselves with that rare genuine original creative source that defines their craft, by virtue of my history, I’m forever linked to this authentic well-spring of creativity and inspiration. This provenance can’t be synthesized, purchased, or conjured. It has to be earned. Whatever value it carries, I guess I’ve earned it and I’m certainly proud of it.”
