OXES are an instrumental rock band from Baltimore, Maryland. Its music has been called math rock or post-punk, though it does not subscribe to any genre. Its members are part of what is known as "The Baltimore Rowdy Collective" which stages practical jokes, usually involving a confrontational and outlandish racket in public places. These happenings are comparable to the Lettrist scandals and Luther Blissett. www.myspace.com/oxesonboxes
