Foxfires The Golden Age (Color) vinyl is a 7-inch on Escapist Records from a band founded in 2010 whose members brought experience from Mountain Man, Four Year Strong, and Last Lights into a project that pieces together something passionate and genuinely distinctive from those varied reference points. This colored pressing of The Golden Age is a limited physical document of a band doing creative work across multiple corners of alternative music.
Foxfires The Golden Age (Color) vinyl
Foxfires came together in 2010 assembled from musicians who had already built their skills and reputations in established bands. Four Year Strong placed members in the pop-punk and melodic hardcore world at a level of real visibility. Last Lights brought a more intense post-hardcore background with a rawness that runs counter to polished melodic punk. Mountain Man added folk and Americana to the mix, an influence that pulls in a completely different direction from the others. What Foxfires did with those combined experiences is not a simple synthesis but something that found its own angle on the material, driven by passion rather than calculation.
