Foxes That Fight, a sort of experimental rock band, formed in May 2006, and is based in Columbia, SC. We had all been playing music in various bands for a few years, but hadn't really found a group that just felt right. It seems like we've finally done that. Now, with more experience as musicians and as band mates, we've really been able to begin to push our boundaries a little bit more. The music is a blend of all the genres we hold dear, funk, latin, rock, jazz, psychedelic, dance, ska, and of course some 70's prog. Our sound is definitely evolving, so please: come out, lend us your ears, and enjoy our next show.
"I'm in a particularly forgiving mood for some reason, so I won't lambaste Foxes that Fight for describing themselves as "purveyors of the finest aural sex" on their MySpace site. Come on, dudes — leave the second-rate sex puns for third-rate frat-rock and cover bands. Besides, Foxes that Fight is neither, fleshing out their dark two-tone ska with some nifty progressive flashes, mixing in funk, classic rock, Latin jazz and, yes, even a little emo for some added kick. Think a more rocking Tom Ze or a decidedly less masturbatory Mars Volta and you're halfway there." P. Wall[Free Times]
"So...System of a Down meets mariachi meets Depeche Mode meets
Hooverphonic on Red Bull w/ a slight nod to the Dream Theater boys
and PFunk... String theory rocks - well done." Gary Beckman, Ph.D.[Professor of Musicology]
"Like sands through the hourglass, so have white suburbanite boys always stolen the musics of poor black men. Even at their worst, rock and rap have proved infinitely better aesthetic booty than ska could ever hope to be. (Well, at least those flavors favored by white suburbia anyways.) But the canids at war on this, their eponymous debut, don’t play the kind of ska that ends up on Pac Sun compilations and soundtracks to Amy Heckerling movies. No, there’s more grit, more grime and hence more legitimacy here — as if Bad Brains had bartered with Hepcat in lieu of payment to ... uh ... finish. And when these five guys do steal — like from Ray Parker Jr. on “Ghosts” — it’s decidedly more tongue-in-cheek than divide-and-conquer." L. Young[Free Times]
Hello, there. We request the honor of your presence at Headliners on Friday, May 16th with Part Bear and Sleep Therapy, for a good old-fashioned Rock and Roll show. It will be fun, I'm telling you. -Josh Roberts
Hey, thanks for friending me! I'm just a local who never knew where 2 go so I built this site in my spare time. It's all user generated so I really need some help uploading cool bars and specials. I also made up a place where we can post events too. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am still building it so if you have any suggestions, I can usually put them in right away. The site's address is yourareacode.com. Thanks again!
