Black Foxxes

Black Foxxes's sound is a vivid tapestry woven from the threads of their diverse musical influences. Drawing inspiration from nature and artists such as Neil Young, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, they have cultivated a style that resonates deeply with fans of alternative and indie rock.

Black Foxxes has always been a form of catharsis and raw expression. It is a necessity that comes from within, not from external forces or market demands. The Core Philosophy: Raw Honesty, No Gimmicks.

Mark Holley has spent the last 10 years living in incredibly remote parts of the world to connect to the land, people and nature. So much of the sound the band hones in on is created in that wild, rugged and real place. The process isn't about writing "happy" or "sad" songs; it's about channelling genuine emotion and finding a sense of hope and overcoming adversity.

For the last two years Mark Holley has been living off grid in the Rocky Mountains and the Yukon - writing music, learning how to build and surviving in a very hostile environment. Coming face to face with grizzly bears, black wolves and getting stuck in snowstorms in the Arctic tundra whilst running marathons, all of this is bedded into their new sound.

Ultimately, their practice is about staying true to themselves and their artistic vision, keeping instinct and the chemistry between the players right at the forefront, and creating music that is authentic, vulnerable, and hopefully helps people the way music has always helped them.

Black Foxxes live shows are always unique. Every show different from one another. Some versions of songs turn into 30-minute transcendent jam sections, other shows offer short, raw, ragged versions. But it's all real.

Upcoming Release Their forthcoming live recordings album Live At Vada comes out on February 13th 2026. Single Badlands from Live at Vada was released on November 14th 2025 (Badlands Music Video).

Over the course of two albums (2016's `I'm Not Well' and 2018's `Reidi'), Black Foxxes main-man Mark Holley established his band as a potent creative force, carving out a signature spot on the emotive rock `n' roll map backed by strong, growing support from fans and media alike.

With singles / videos such as `Husk', `I'm Not Well', `JOY' and `Manic In Me', the clip for which was filmed in Iceland, a key source of influence for Album 2, it became increasingly clear that Holley is an artist prepared to shed protective layers - an artist with plenty to say and a particular way of tapping into thoughts, feelings and fears.

And now, with Album Number 3, the Bristol-based singer / songwriter / guitarist has done even more to bind music and personal message into a cohesive body of work - nine compelling tracks recorded quickly with a brand new rhythm section (drummer Finn McClean and bassist Jack Henley, a longstanding friend), plus a trusted team member in producer / mixer Ade Bushby, who helmed the desk on both previous outings.

From the very start, the intention was to keep instinct, musical integrity and the chemistry between the players right at the fore, with no second-guessing of the market and no attempt to stem or to edit the musical flow - a flow that takes in synths, distorted vocals plus a battery of left-field sounds (inspired by Bristol's alternative DIY culture), along with a broader range of lyrical subject matter.
