By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 8, 2008 1:00 pm
BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: Ox are one of the growing number of Canadian acts looking to make country music cool again. Can't you picture yourself busting a move to some Randy Travis at a bar or a high school dance? Grade: 73 Comment:Singer/guitarist Mark Browning usually has his band in tow, but he was in town by himself on this night....

Ox @ CMW 2007

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 10, 2007 2:30 pm
Background/Composition: If the term "nu-country" has yet to be coined, then let it be christened here, and let Ox be the leaders in this hip and twangy genre. Their performance was so enrapturing that it inspired a drunken man to interpretive dance while holding a nearly full pint of beer. Heroically, he didn't spill a drop. Grade...

Ox — American Lo Fi

in
By James Simons (CHARTattack) October 24, 2006 11:54 am
When Ox ascended to the top of Canada's campus chart in 2003, it was kind of like that girl from She's All That becoming prom queen. "She has glasses!" cried outraged naysayers. But we didn't listen and — like the dreamy Freddie Prinze Juniors we are — we embraced the group's unpolished alt.country. Three years later, Ox return with more...

Song Of The Day: Ox's "Xmas In The Jailhouse"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) December 25, 2010 12:01 pm
I guess this one's a wee bit like turning The Pogues' "Fairytale Of New York" on its head, since the opening line of "Xmas In The Jailhouse" are "I spent Christmas in the drunk tank." Basically, if you picture Shane MacGowan and Kirsty MacColl without the Celtic punk and with an added twang  to their vocals and music, you've got "Xmas In The...

You Say Party! We Say Four Weeks At #1

By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) November 10, 2009 3:41 pm
Here's an example of how messed up the planet is. I was putting up my Christmas lights on Sunday (Nov. 8) and was almost dying of a heat stroke it was that hot out there. Can anybody ever remember it hitting the mid-teens for three straight days in November in Toronto? Of course, I'm not complaining; it sure beats getting frostbite doing the...
