Formed in the late '90s in New York City, Luxx is the combined effort of bassist Tony Fennell, guitarist Ian Hatton, drummer Dave Silver and lead vocalist, Katrina Chester. With a sound that swims back and forth between ska-punk and metal, Luxx released their first self-titled album on Push Records in 1998. A year later they followed up with Hydroponic, released on their own label, an imprint of All-Indie Records.
