FOXY TURBULENCE: THE STONE FOXES

Remember the low-class, grunge-loving rock n’ roll style of the seventies? One might think that kind of epic glory could not be found in a band still in its infancy, but these boys have got the grimed up, classic edge that seemed to have died long ago, reviving the style with a signature stamp.

When you listen to The Stone Foxes, you’re not only getting a breezy soundtrack, but you’re getting warped into a different time zone. And that air of surrealism only makes the band more lovable.

From the balmy streets of San Francisco, comes a foxy turbulence one won’t quickly forget. When you can’t get wrapped up in the conversation or literature that’s at hand in an afternoon, then music is the way to go. And The Stone Foxes are rock solid entertainment. Even their low-key demeanour is a relentless beat that makes your foot go tapping. Their ironic, witty expressions combat against the musical bullets ricocheting off the walls, while their guitars hold the unsettling hint of country twang. That kind of keen mix splices your heart with the totality and severity of a slow, massive hit. All in all, the perfect rock n’ roll experience.

Their second album Bears and Bulls, is going to be on store shelves July 6 (pre-sale through Itunes is on June 29), and the wait is full of anticipation. Thankfully, they’ve already released some tracks from the album, including the juicy I Killed Robert Johnson, which is definitely a slice of the promised land. The song featured in the video below is Stomp, which I just had to choose, not only for the spice in the number, but the psychedelic fest that is the music video.

Grow out your hair and leave your home behind; The Stone Foxes are here for you.
