Electronica with a rock attitude
author: Score!Music
The best description of Dax is industrial electronica with a rock attitude. While "Submission" is rife with a NIN influence the vocals are more modern rock (without the growly-screamy), "Lay My Head" has more of an electronic sound filled with industrial-distorted vocals. However, DAX's voice is actually pretty strong despite the musical style, which lends a slight disadvantage towards actually hearing what he's got to say. "Not Worth the Paper" displays more of a little sexy-funk than the other two tracks and has a great bassy groove and tough little guitar riff. This is one of those discs that you'll want to blare when you've got the inkling to be a little "bad". (Picture slinking across the room toward your lover as you slowly discard your clothing). I think I'll hang on to this one!

All in all, I think Dax has potential
author: FM Sound
Hi there…I’d like to introduce you to the Trent Reznor of the 21st century. Or at least, that’s what was the first thing to come to my mind when I popped in Dax’s self-titled three-track EP and the industrial rock fusion called “Submission” came blaring through my stereo speakers.
While I definitely dig the whole industrial-electronic-rock hybrid thing, I unfortunately keep automatically comparing him to NIN and ever time Dax does not come out on top. Thankfully though things did start to get better on the second track “Not Worth the Paper,” which was recently featured on a Westwood One/Sony Playstation compilation. This track had a little more of a creative edge that helped me to start distinguishing Reznor from Dax.
All in all, I think Dax has potential but will have to do a bit more to disassociate his music from artists that came before him because I’m not going to be the only one making comparisons.
