The Stone Foxes – Bears & Bulls

post brought to you by: dyson

The Stone Foxes don’t mess around. You want some straight up down and dirty rock? They’ll give you that without a flinch.

I’m sure I’m not the first to point out a comparison between them and The Band. Their sound is not what brings this comparison to mind. It’s more about their attitude towards playing, writing, and recording music that strikes up this comparison. No one really takes the lead. They do whatever is right for the song, just like the The Band.

No fluff, no egos, and certainly no studio trickery. What you hear is what you get. And from I hear, their live show is where it’s at.

Their album Bears & Bulls is set to be released as a pre-order on iTunes on June 29th and available everywhere else on July 6th. This one’s definitely worth picking up.

The stand out track from it is “I Killed Robert Johnson” (posted below). This song grew on me like no other and has been heavy rotation ever since I first heard it. It’s got a great subject matter, great guitar riffs, and great vocals that get me every time the group sings the main line ‘I Killed Robert Johnson’.

Here’s a video for “Stomp”, a track off of “Bears & Bulls”.

It’s hard to believe these young guys took the DIY approach and got such great results. That speaks volumes to quality of the songs and the band. If you can setup some mics in your home studio, play your heart out, and have that translate to record well, you’ve succeeded.

Grab a copy of Bears & Bulls when you can. And expect good things to come from The Stone Foxes in the future.

Listen to this LOUD!
