'''Wax''' was a Los Angeles-based punk-pop band in the early 1990s. They released just two albums, 1992's ''What Else Can We Do'' and 1995's ''13 Unlucky Numbers''. The latter spawned their one and only minor hit, "California" (not to be confused with similarly-titled songs by [[The Rentals]] or [[Phantom Planet]]), which benefitted from a [[Spike Jonze]] video. They also contributed the title song to the ''[[Mall Rats soundtrack]]''.

{{Karl Koch quote|[[Black Market Flowers|BMF]]/[[Weezer]]/[[El Mag]] ... 3 bands, who along with Wax defined the mini-scene that weezer was a part of then, trying to forge a non-hair band -yet- non-grunge scene.|<ref>[[Historic event: 06/07/1993]]</ref>}}
