1. Lunatic
Along with a new lineup, Foxfight have released their brand new single titled "Lunatic". This song features a lineup, that if you are familiar with the local london scene, you will recognize. Be that as it may, if you know their previous stuff, this is different for sure. These guys have a similar sound to local bands Searching For Satellites or The Jettison Commitment. This may be since one of the members used to be in one of the aforementioned bands. On the larger scale, we would say, bands like He Is Legend or Norma Jean would be close to this band as well. They have done a pretty solid job here.
When looking at the recording quality of this song, the song has been recorded to a pretty solid offering. This is a very listenable song, and it really grabs the power without drowning the vocals out. The instrumentation is nothing the is going to wow you, but these guys can play, and play well they do. Listen to the bass especially here. Solid musicians overall on this song.
Now onto the vocals and lyrics of the song. the vocals on this song are pretty good, but they seem to have a bit of a forced and stretched feel to them. At times with his screaming style, it is hard to get all the words. The vocals are the weakest part of the song, but you have to remember, this is only their fourth ever recorded song. With the lyrics, the band sings about haters or a relationship from what we can tell. This is on the more common side of areas discussed in music, especially metalcore. Not a bad job overall, would just like a little less stressed out vocals.
Foxfight has released their new single and it shows off their new sound and lineup. We think that this could be a turnaround for the band and bring people back to remembering this band. They have done an alright job here. Listen to the song to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
