Influences
Echo & The Bunnymen. The Stooges. The Clash. The Shins. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The Charlatans. The Verve. The Beatles. New Order. Manic Street Preachers. Neil Young and Crazy Horse. Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. Elvis Costello and the Attractions.
Formed in late 2007 from the ashes of less illustrious outfits, Fox Force Five's eloquent songcraft is set to blaze a trail through the UK music scene. The Pictures & Puzzles EP stands this Manchester band apart from the current dirge of landfill Indie and pretentious identikit Electro. Fox Force Five boast deftly woven songs played by hungry young men who mean every last drop.
Last year was largely spent honing these talents in the live arena. A hometown debut at Danny McNamara’s Aftershow club night, an emphatic support slot with The Music and a raucous first London appearance at Alan McGee’s Death Disco were among the highlights. 2009 has continued apace, with the band topping Sunday’s bill on the Dry Bar
Stage at Manchester’s Hungry Pigeon Festival. September 18th brings Fox Force Five’s biggest headline show to date at Manchester Academy 3..
Pictures & Puzzles EP
Recorded with Martin Coogan and Yves Altana in late 2008, the Pictures & Puzzles EP combines this raw excitement with a deftness of touch which allows the songs to do the talking. Influences from Echo & The Bunnymen and The Shins are in evidence alongside Neil Young and The Doors because, like all quality bands, Fox Force Five have great record collections.
