Foxy Shazam – The Heart Behead You Album Review

It feels like no time at all has passed since Foxy Shazam released their comeback album, Burn, in 2020, but I guess that’s what a still on-going pandemic will do to your brain. Anyways, I was tickled to learn a few months ago that they were releasing a new album, The Heart Behead You, a week before I’m due to see them live for the first time since 2014! Let’s break it down.

Album Review: Foxy Shazam – Burn

I am a fool! It’s been way too long for me to not have realized that the recently reunited Foxy Shazam had put out a new album in December! Burn is the first release from the band since their hiatus in 2015, and I really should have been more on top of this. The only thing I really saw anything about was a reunion show that got cancelled twice ( because, you know, pandemic) and the release of the single “Burn.” Well, better late than never I suppose! Burn was a delight to listen to all the way through, and now I really can’t wait for this pandemic to be over so I can see them live again!

Concert Throwback: Foxy Shazam

Foxy Shazam, the Cincinnati based rock band from back in the day are BACK after a six year hiatus and I couldn’t be happier. Led by electric and strange front-man Eric Sean Nally, this band has always mixed loud beats and horns with soft vocals or screams. I also guarantee that the first time you listen to them, especially songs from The Church of Rock and Roll, you may confuse them for Queen. Seriously, if you wander through the Youtube comments on performances, this is the top comparison, and it’s accurate! Having seen them play live twice in completely different circumstances, their natural talent is unmatched. The first time I saw them was opening for fun. and Panic! at the Disco back in 2011 and I was immediately enthralled by their chaos onstage. Then I had the opportunity to see them headline at a smaller venue, but got the gift of a crazy long set, and they were incredible! Ever heard an electric kazoo? Well, I have and it’s cool as hell. Now it’s 2020, they’re back together, and there’s new merch and new music, and I can’t wait to see them again!
