Uk Alt- Rockers' FOXHAUNT have released their latest EP, Mindset, this past Friday. The quartet hail from York, England and consists of lead vocalist Ollie Swift, guitarist Thom Clayton, bassist Nick Dawson, and drummer Jamie Scott. The band count Linkin Park and Alexisonfire as many influences on their brand of pop, punk, and rock music with electronic elements.
The band have gained considerable support over the years with coverage in Planet Rock and BBC Introducing. 'Mindset' harks back to the days of rock bands singing huge pop choruses and massive riffs.
The opener "Enemy" covers the topic of a person losing control of their own perspective and looking for someone to blame. The dazzling keys in the intro soon follow with large, thunderous guitars and soothing vocal melodies that concludes with pounding drums and a dreamlike instrumental.
"Ronin" is a blazing output of anger and frustration with an up-tempo riff and soft and melancholic pop choruses. The EP can sometimes feel like each track blends into one another. However. one of the lead singles 'Monster' is the heaviest of the five tracks. The aggressive and frenetic guitar sound is brash and fast, as Swift sings over electronic keys.
And finally, "Make Me Feel Alive" completes things with a dark, electronic sound and pop choruses that reflect how the band have a lot of anguish and discontentment to express through rich, and heart-warming melodies and fiery riffs.
