BLACK FOXXES

In the organizer's words:
In a phase of rock music in which even the most hard-boiled bands leave nothing to chance, an angry, highly impulsive formation like the Black Foxxes is a sensation in terms of its artistic unambiguity. Their rock sound, charged with the fury of early punk and reminiscent of complex grunge epigones such as Brand New, achieves a rare balance of sonic eruptions and the stylistic flair of a great songwriter. The Black Foxxes are also very close to the tradition that the best art comes from the suffering of its creator. This applies in particular to their singer, guitarist and mastermind Mark Holley, who has struggled with uncontrollable, relapsing panic attacks since early childhood. Even countless attempts at therapy brought little relief. Out of this helplessness, he began to shape his fears and frustrations into chords and lyrics. For in music he found what no therapy had been able to offer him: inner peace. For the first time in his life. Over the course of four albums released between 2016 and 2025, Holley established his band, which oscillates between indie, alternative and emocore, as a strong creative force and, with the growing support of fans and the media, secured a firm place on the emotional rock'n'roll map. After the second album "Reiði", the band underwent an all-round renewal - apart from Holley, the entire line-up changed once. Since then, it has become increasingly clear that Holley is prepared to abandon any protection of intimacy and privacy in order to get to the real emotions. An artist who has found his own special way of verbalizing thoughts, emotions and fears. With their fourth album "The Haar", released in March of this year, which the band financed in the best DIY manner via crowdfunding, Holley, together with drummer Finn McClean and bassist Jack Barrett, went one step further to combine music and personal messages into an inherent work. Their intention was to emphasize instinct, musical integrity and personal chemistry between the musicians. Because the idea behind Black Foxxes is to never contain the flow between the players - a flow that features synthesizers, distorted sound aesthetics and an array of leftfield sounds alongside classic alternative rock characteristics. Their last two German tours around "The Haar" have already demonstrated how powerful and intense this can be in concert, where their songs condense into true rock monoliths. And if the rumors currently circulating are true, the perfect preparation for their four German dates - in the form of their first live album - will be released immediately before their upcoming tour in spring.
