HISTORY: wikipedia
Ten years ago, a few friends started making music. We called the band "Foxhole," and we've been writing music together ever since. But it's been a long time since our last proper release, and you'd be forgiven for assuming that we gave up the ghost a long time ago.
In actuality, we scattered across the country. We married, had babies, embarked on non-musical careers. We've "grown up," but hopefully we haven't grown old.
And yet! Since the release of "Push/Pull," we've spent five far-too-short years writing, rehearsing, demoing and considering a new full-length album. In the meantime, the word "album" has become stale and the usual methods for pursuing our craft have become increasingly challenging.
Still, we've loved this music into existence, the songs so many pieces that make a far greater whole. We're not pursuing the album; the album has pursued us.
But music costs money, and debt is dumb. So for the first time, we're looking to our audience for a sort of investment: Help us record the album, and not only will you be a part of our little bit of history, but we'll strive to give you more than your money's worth — an album unlike any other; an album that we've loved for years, and that you'll love for years later.
$15 gets you the album in digital form, as well as a number of Foxhole rarities that we've kept for our own enjoyment; higher levels of giving bring some pretty distinctive rewards. Ultimately, we just hope you'll help: Not only for our sake, but for yours.
Slowly crafting since the turn of the century,

We'll still do all that stuff, except we'll leave you anonymously in the crowd.)

Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Adam lives with his loving wife, Reba Moorkintyre, on the side of a mountain in Palmer Lake, Colo. All summer long, it got down to 40 degrees at night. Brrrr! Adam's car just exploded, and he's in the market for a cheap but reliable replacement. Have one? And he recently converted against his will to being a cat person, mostly because he owns no dogs.
