In their time, Pyx Lax was considered to be one of the most popular bands in Greece. Sotiria Malfa, a Greek critic, wrote, "The stamp of Pyx Lax on Greek music of the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 00s is something more than profound.

Testament to their greatness is the multitude of Pyx Lax tribute bands worldwide.
Pyx Lax is more than just an influential band; it's the soul, the emotion, and the voice of a generation, who seamlessly move between Rock, Traditional and Folk music whilst giving new life to the generations before them.
With over 20 million CD sales and the biggest grossing concert tour in Greek history, Pyx Lax brought a concert of epic proportions to Australian capital cities.
The song list is too huge to mention, their energy is too powerful to ignore, and their stage presence is too eclectic to disregard.
