T… Read Full Bio ↴BLOXX is a British four-piece alt-rock indie-pop band from London.
They were formed in Uxbridge, West London in 2016 by Booth, Taz Sidhu (guitar), and Mozwin Norohna (drums) while they worked toward BTECs in music performance. Booth later met bass player Paul Raubišķis at her job and brought him into the fold. The quartet released their first song, "Your Boyfriend" (originally "Ur Boyfriend"), in September of 2016. In early 2017, they signed with Chess Club, which issued the follow-up single "You" in April.
Over the next two years, the group toured alongside Sundara Karma, the Wombats, and INHEAVEN while building an impressive catalog of singles. The late 2010s saw BLOXX incorporate influences from glitzy pop/rock to Paramore-esque pop-punk, culminating in the group's first EP, Headspace (2019). In December of 2019 the band parted ways with Norohna, soon enlisting drummer Joe Kinton for the band's tours into 2020 and beyond. After dropping their first singles as a three-piece -- 2020's "Coming Up Short," "Lie Out Loud," and "Thinking About Yourself" -- the group announced their debut LP, Lie Out Loud. A collection of 11 infectious anthems, the album was released via Chess Club in August of that year.

All dressed up and I still know that
It′s not easier
Several times, I've been sayin′
I need time and you're delayin'
My, oh my
You know these feelings
Oh, these feelings
Said we should take it slow
Odd, it′s like that you don't know, oh
You said we should take it slow
I messed up and you think I don′t know, oh
Call you up, cause Monday's boring
You′re dressed up, and I'm dressed down
′Cause it's only eight o'clock
Several times, I′ve been telling you
"You′re on my mind, and I need time and it's only you I want"
You know these feelings
It′s deceiving
Oh, these feelings
Said we should take it slow
Odd, it's like that you don′t know, oh
You said we should take it slow
I messed up and you think I don't know, oh
You know these feelings
It′s deceiving
Oh, these feelings
Said we should take it slow
Odd, it's like that you don't know, oh
You said we should take it slow
I messed up and you think I don′t know, oh
You said we should take it slow
Odd, it′s like that you don't know, oh
(You don′t know)
(You don't know)
You said we should take it slow
I messed up and you think I don′t know
(Oh, no I don't)
(Oh, no I don′t)
The song "Monday" by Bloxx is a melancholic and introspective song that speaks about the challenges faced when the relationship that one is in is not progressing as planned. The lyrics speak about the feeling of being stuck and not able to move forward, even though one is willing to do so. The song opens with the statement, "Call me up on a Monday morning, all dressed up and I still know that it's not easier." The singer is ready to face the day, but he or she is self-aware enough to know that the challenges will not just disappear, and they will not make him or her feel any better.
The singer then goes on to speak about the frustration he or she is feeling about the relationship. He or she has been telling the other person that he or she needs time, but the other person is delaying the process. The singer feels deceived and confused by these mixed signals. The chorus of the song is then repeated, with the lyrics speaking about how the slow progression is not working and how the singer has messed up.
The song then speaks about how the singer calls up the other person on Monday, even though it's boring. The other person is dressed up, and the singer is dressed down, and it's only eight o'clock. The singer then goes on to say that the other person is always on his or her mind and how he or she wants only that person. The song then ends with the chorus being repeated.
Overall, "Monday" by Bloxx is a relatable song that speaks about the challenges faced when one is in a relationship that is not progressing as planned. The singer knows what he or she wants and is trying to express that, but the other person is delaying the process, leaving the singer feeling deceived and confused.

I'm seeing The Wombats next month, and I thought I'd check out the supporting acts. I've now listened to all the songs you have on youtube, and I'm in love! You are awesome! I can't wait to see you guys play!
@joshuawilson2025
Both of them together. I am jealous. I don’t live in the UK unfortunately in this circumstance. All the good UK bands don’t make it to my neck of the woods here in the US. I am seeing CHVRCHES in December though and the Pixies in September.

@cshreyap
