Punchy, energy filled indie rock and roll, from the heart.
Pure energy. There’s a drive and urgency to this second release by The Foxes which is a credit to the single’s namesake and the band’s ambition. Stripped back and jaunty rock and roll with a serious line in punchy, if not brilliant, lyrics, and a whole lotta meaning behind it all. Direct and blessedly no longer than it needs to be, it’s a smash-and-grab blast of meaningful pop-rock that should be another creditable entry into the indie singles chart. It’s nothing particularly new, but you can’t claim they’re not playing from the heart.
B-side ‘Come And Get You’ is a (comparatively) more sedate and bouncy indie track, almost summery. But the catchy chords are still there, and the lyrics are a little more accessible than on the single. It’s not the inspired energy and drive of ‘Bill Hicks’, but far more VH1 indie pop. But it does display the dynamics of the music better than the single, to its credit.
