Formed in the spring of 2012, the project was birthed as a result of songs written by Bryce Soderberg during his still current days as long time bassist and backing vocalist of the Multi-Platinum rock group Lifehouse. “Initially this was just a passion project for me while the other guys also pursued their side-bands.” laughs Soderberg, “But after a few shows and getting positive feedback, I want to keep this train going!” Having experimented with a dark-pop sound with production from Nine Inch Nails keyboardist Allesandro Cortini and a melodic-atomospheric influences from Abandoned Pools frontman Tommy Walter, the band blends songs of heartache, happiness, in an LA lived adolecence, with synth infused alt-rock sounds from the past and present. Having had played countless shows developing, writing and recording demos around Los Angeles for two years under the name 2ndwheel, they rebranded with the name Komox Kids, and finally to KOMOX in 2014 as a local buzz began to garner. “it was a necessary change as far as the music was concerned” says Soderberg. “It felt right to get back to the roots of where I’m from and put a positive connotation to the name” One of his favorite places to visit as a child was the Comox Valley on Vancouver island, BC, the root of it’s indigenous name meaning “plentiful”.
With shoegazer tones from former ModwheelMood member Pelle Hillstrom, and gritty guitar and 80’s synth work from the Hard rock influenced “viking” Neal Tiemann (David Cook), Sweden’s own Kris Perrson’s indie/hip-hop drum style was the last missing piece. “I feel like we come from different genres, but as a unit we are completely on the same page stylistically.” says Perrson. “It is a great time in the industry for music, and I’m confident that what we are about to is going to turn some heads.” The band is well on its way to record their debut album, and over the next year, perform and create a record at the bar line they feel the band deserves, while Lifehouse continues its break. “We have about 40 songs in the tank, and can’t wait to whittle them down to a great record” says Soderberg. " It’s all about having fun and enjoying the process. That’s what this is all about"

Anything
Komox Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday we learn to throw our cares away
Behind closed doors and learn to say: it's okay to be afraid
For all we know we were perfect from the start
We should let it go, take the blindness off our heart
And let it float out the window

It's not too late to apologize, it's up to me and you
It's not too late, this one thing I'm sure of

For all we know we were perfect from the start
We should let it go, take the blindness off our heart
And let it float out the window

Get outta your head, live it up, don't stop
Til you're outta your head, take it back to the top
And get outta your head, pick it up, don't drop
Cause it's all in your head, it's all in your head
We can be anything
We can be anything
We can be anything
We can be anything

Get outta your head, live it up, don't stop
Til you're outta your head, take it back to the top
And get outta your head, pick it up, don't drop
Cause it's all in your head, it's all in your head

Get outta your head
Get outta your head

Live it up, don't stop
Take it back to the top
Pick it up, don't drop

Live it up, don't stop
Til you're outta your head, take it back to the top
And get outta your head, pick it up, don't drop
Cause it's all in your head, it's all in your head
We can be anything
(Live it up, don't stop, don't stop, no)
We can be anything
(Take it back to the top, to the top, go)
We can be anything
(Full speed, not stop, not stop, no)
We can be anything
(Get outta your head)

We can be anything
We can be anything

We can be anything
We can be anything
