Not to be confused with [The Box Social (Portland, Oregon)](/source/The_Box_Social_(Portland,_Oregon)).

**The Box Social** were an American band from [Mequon, Wisconsin](/source/Mequon,_Wisconsin), often described as [pop rock](/source/Pop_rock) and sometimes as [grunge](/source/Grunge) revival.[1] Critics have compared their sound to [Smashing Pumpkins](/source/The_Smashing_Pumpkins), [Franz Ferdinand](/source/Franz_Ferdinand_(band)) and [Lou Reed](/source/Lou_Reed),[2] with some songs compared positively to [AC/DC](/source/AC/DC)[1] and others negatively to [Weezer](/source/Weezer).[3] Critics praised Nick Woods' vocals, noting that he actually sings rather than screaming,[1] and comparing his vocals to [Jack White](/source/Jack_White).[4] Woods was later a member of [Direct Hit](/source/Direct_Hit_(band)).[5] The band formed in 2002, and released three EPs[6] and one full-length album called *Get Going* before splitting in 2008.[7]
