With influences ranging from 60s Stomp and Bubble Gum to Heavy Metal and New Wave these two never seem to run out of ideas for their songs. How do they do it? “Repeating words and phrases over and over works good because it sounds cool and you don’t have to write as much” states frontman Harry Blessing.  Franky Foshay admits he has a few tricks up his sleave as well “I always like to use a double negative to confuse the listener ‘what’s he talking about? He’s crazy mannnn!’ Plus misspelling wurds iz kool!” When pressed further the boys take a serious tone, Franky explains “We like to write about the negative and confusing parts of life and make fun fast pop rock songs that more or less celebrate those ‘negative’ feelings as something we all share.” Harry chimes in “Yeah, it’s kinda like our bratty version of the blues. It’s gotta be a simple message, short and sweet, easy to relate to” Well if you can relate, check out The Foshays First two singles on SoundCloud below.

Freddy is right. Nobody likes being popular.  Popularity is sick drug sold to us through social media channels like the one you are accessing now to view a portion of this post. We all bang these channels like our caffeinated drinks or chewing gum or littering, wut ever gets you off, wutever! The point being the most of the most popular deal with this affliction most acutely. Could you imagine how hard it is to think about yourself all the time? We cannnnnnnnnnnnn               t.

Take a deep breath Franky! Despite some delays, The Foshays first album “Not So Now” is well on the way to being finished. A tweak here, a fader mover there, and then export, export, export! I guess none of that helps this predicament you’re in now. May I suggest a lock for the studio door? Or maybe a nice band sized kennel?

With all the recent social and political upheavals lately, The Foshays have the perfect response for all the crusty old fogeys out there in world trying to stop change. “Not So Now!” Emphasize “Not” it sounds like its “not happening now.”  Emphasize “So” it sounds like it’s not contemporary. Emphasize the “Now” it sounds like “Not So” is the mode of apparatus. All of which applies. Take time to consider which “Not So Now”  you are feeling when watching the news, checking your feeds, or listening to your friend complain. The Foshays want to wish you all a happy International Woman’s Day!
