Anything Box is an electronic/synthpop musical group originally from Paterson, New Jersey, and now based in Long Beach, California. Formed in 1986, they are best known for their 1989 single "Living in Oblivion". They also garnered some attention for releasing an album entirely in MP3 format in 2003. With a current lineup consisting solely of Claude Strilio, the past lineups have included long-time members Dania Morales and Paul Rijnders, as well as Carlos Pacheco, Mike Zacek, Gary Strilio, Dave South and Barry Bunch. The band is noted for its melodic, synth-driven dance beats from its early years as well as its fusion of electronics and guitars which is its current musical focus. The band also receives praise for its album artwork which ranges from oil paintings to electronic paintings which are all works of Claude Strilio. Anything Box (also known as Abox by fans has released several albums, EPs, and singles, and continues to perform around the world.

The band's name comes from the title of a book of short stories by Zenna Henderson, The Anything Box.[3] In the title story, a young girl imagines the world as she would have it, apparently by staring at an empty space between her hands. Her school teacher discovers that the box is invisible, but real.

Anything Box's most recent release is Peace (Endpop.com, January 2018) which is a remastered version of their first album, and features remixes of their hits "Living in Oblivion" and "Jubilation".

Anything Box was started by Claude S. (original name Claude Strilio born in Rosario, Argentina) in Paterson, New Jersey playing local clubs, such as The Pipeline in N. Newark and The Loop Lounge in Passaic. This is where Claude met Dania Morales who joined as a group shortly after. Playing numerous shows and producing demo-tapes, they drew the attention of Epic Records. The band moved to Orange County, California where Paul Rijnders joined the group.

Lyric:
Every time I close my eyes,
I hide behind the blackened lies
That follow me
Throughout my history.

The lives I've touched,
The things I've done,
The things I know will never come,
Get washed away
In my happiness.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

Moving on was hard to do.
To leave the things that I once knew.
Childhood is the one thing
That won't come back to me.

How can I sit idly by
Watching all these hours denied
My name is all I have
For an offering.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

Built up walls that crumbled down.
People marched and stood their ground.
I saw it happen,
It was part of me.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

And oh, when you feel stranded
Don't take for granted
This thing called life.

Oh, (don't take for granted)

Oh, (don't take for granted)

Oh, (don't take for granted)....
