All of the leftover merch from our 4 shows this month are now up in our online store, as well as a few extra items for you.
We have also signed a limited quantity of S/T records that are up for purchase. As of now, there are no plans to repress this album so this is what’s left. Pick it up and enjoy it ❤️
with love,
The Foxing Family

After 14 years as a band and 12 years of consistent touring, we’ve decided to take a hiatus from playing shows, writing or doing anything as Foxing.
It feels really scary to say that. This band has been completely inseparable from us as people for our entire adult lives up to this point. It is so much of our identity and our sense of self worth in the world. But it has become clear to us that in our pursuit of our dreams and making the most honest and genuine art we can, our relationship with music, each other, and our sense of self without the band has eroded. We have decided to prioritize these things and need to step away from the band to do so.
These shows in Chicago and St. Louis will be our last for the foreseeable future. Know that if you ever saw us at a show or listened to our records, you were getting the most from us that we could possibly give in that moment. We will come back if/when we feel that we have more to give.
Thank you for everything over the years.

Today our second album, Dealer turns 10 years old. With that, we get the chance to briefly reflect on an album that represented a passion project becoming our entire lives.
Dealer had an arduous but ultimately rewarding journey from conception to release. This was the first time anyone in Foxing was given label funding to write an album. With that, we were able to chase experiences and ideas that would shape the process and define the sound of Dealer. From initial writing in our basements to demoing in a Vermont Cabin to recording with Matt Bayles in Seattle, every step we took was something new and exciting.
When we listen back, we can hear that excitement in our songs. We hear the arguments and the handshakes, the yelling and the laughing, the confidence and utter self-doubt all happening simultaneously with every moment.
To you, it means something else. The reviews were dramatically mixed and the reception from audiences were extreme in both praise and contempt. Dealer is, today, a favorite to some and a miss to others. Undoubtedly, this is our most divisive record and a great ice-breaker between fans on a date, if nothing else.
Today we celebrate Dealer. We celebrate the genius of Matt Bayles, the belief in us by Fred Feldman of Triple Crown. We celebrate the guidance by our long time friend and manager, Joe Marro. We celebrate the dedication of our bandmates to drop out of college, to miss funerals and birthdays, to quit our lives as we knew them for this album to exist. And more than anything else, we celebrate ten years of you people who made all of this worth it. Thank you Dealer. Happy ten years.
