Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
The David Wax Museum released its first album, I Turned Off Thinking About, in 2008. Its second album, Carpenter Bird (released digitally in 2009 and on CD in 2010), included many tracks that would become staples in the band's live shows.

The band had its breakthrough after winning a contest for a spot at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival. Paste (magazine) dubbed the band "the breakout act" of the festival. The band was the winner in the Americana category in the 2010 Boston Music Awards.

In 2011, the band released the critically acclaimed album Everything Is Saved, featuring the song "Born with a Broken Heart," which would be named Song of the Year in the Boston Music Awards. After playing South by Southwest in 2011, Craig Duff in Time (magazine) dubbed the David Wax Museum one of the "Ten Acts That Rocked South by Southwest." They went on to play the main stage on the final day of the Newport Folk Festival. On the night of their performance, The Huffington Post ran a profile of the band in which Rob Kirkpatrick called them "The Best Band You Might Not Know."

The band released its fourth full-length album, Knock Knock Get Up, in late summer 2012. Kirkpatrick reviewed it for the Huffington Post, calling it "louder, richer, fuller, less minimalist and more mature" than the band's previous releases and described it as "an album that will challenge fans" and "leav[e] [them] wanting to play it again." On the day of the official album release, The New York Times published a Q & A with band members Wax and Slezak.
