J-14 is scouting out the hottest bands around... and this week's pick is For The Foxes!
Here are five things you need to know about For The Foxes whose debut EP The Revolution is out tomorrow!
1. Lead singer Nick Dungo formed For The Foxes with fellow New Jersey natives back in 2007. After a couple of lineup changes through the years, the solid group now consists of Nick, guitarists Jimmy Brindley and Mikey Ballou, drummer Danny Vassallo, and bassist Jonathan Brunner. Nick was studying music at William Paterson University and writing for the group when he decided it was time to take matters into his own hands. Writing emails to music venues and promoters throughout the area, the pop-rock group embarked on their first East Coast tour.
2. For The Foxes was inspired by Nick's Charles Bukowski poetry readings during his first year in college. "A lot of people assume the band name means 'for the girls' and in the beginning we thought 'Okay, cool, it goes both ways,' but it's actually about the poem we were reading," Nick tells J-14. "It's about just being content with your life and moving forward. Things like that."
