Hot off the tails of their fifth self-titled album, which was released late last year, Foxing, the quartet skirting from Missouri, bring their cult-cuts to the East Midlands. They were ably supported by local alt-rock group, Fallowed...
Luckily for us, their music is personified ten-fold in their performances - and Nottingham got to experience that last week. Woozy opener Secret History and Grand Paradise - a fan favourite from 2018's Nearer My God - were welcome ways to ease-in before the scathing blitz of Gratitude from their most recent brought up the energy levels in the room once more. Before long, however, we fell into the gargantuan might of Hell 99, the 450-capacity room now brimming with flailing limbs.
It was a real showstopper so luckily, we had the longing of Lich Prince to catch our breath. A real demonstration of the bands' most eclectic mix of tracks, the gig soon turned into The Albatross appreciation - their emo debut evidently being their most favourable project from their fans so far.
The loose funk of The Medic kicked things off before the double-header of Inuit and Rory saw out the night in spectacular fashion. Beautiful rip-roaring anthems from a band unfamiliar to any boundaries, the crowd were seemingly transfixed.
Finding comfort in their own chaos, Foxing are a true delight to witness live.
Foxing performed at Rescue Rooms on 7th June 2025. Support came from Nottingham alt-rockers Fallowed (pictured further below). Foxing hit the hardcore stage with Outbreak Festival in Manchester before resuming on the road with Coheed & Cambria via a support slot in America and Canada throughout August.
We have a favour to ask
