Fox Jaws ont sorti cette année leur excellent debut album Goodbye Doris.
"When Goodbye Doris is all said and done, there’s not much else to say or think. It’s the kind of music that leaves you breathless, out of words, out of thoughts… and music that can do such things should be treasured…"
— Audio Blood online magazine, 2007.
Petite biographie :
"Deep within the domain of commuters, on the very edge of cottage country, lies the The Fracture Room, the rehearsal space and studio of Barrie, Ontario's Fox Jaws -- a group of friends and musicians who spend their time skirting the edges of music and the meaning of life in a not-so-small town in present-day Ontario. First known as Doris Day, the band has now changed their name to avoid the inevitable lawsuit that would likely ensue their coattails, forging forth with a proud identity and sound of their own.
After the release of their debut recording, an EP fondly entitled Extended Play, Fox Jaws brought forth a sophomore effort with their self-recorded EP, The Fracture Room Sessions. It seemed to capture the live sound and energy that the band had crafted over the first 2 years of its existence. Around this time, the band supplemented its original line-up of Dan Allen (guitar, keys, vocals), Brandyn Aikins (drums, vocals), Derek McColeman (guitar) and Brock Swanek (bass) with young lady vocalist Carleigh Aikins followed by seasoned guitarist/keyboardist Andrew Shropshire, adding new elements of depth and subtlety to both The Fracture Room Sessions and to the intense wall of noise style soundscapes created during their live performances. In addition, this shaped a strong family dynamic (Dan and Derek, and Carleigh and Brandyn are siblings), creating a grand cohesive unit. Additionally, later in 2007, long-time comrade Evan Rosevear joined the ranks and replaced Brock Swanek as bass player.
The band has just released their debut full-length entitled Goodbye Doris recorded by Ryan Mills (Most Serene Republic, Born Ruffians, Old Soul) in both his Toronto studio and the Fox Jaws homestead. The album has been released independently by the band to a good handful of great reviews; critics like NOW magazine, EXCLAIM, and Chromewaves.net have given the band's debut Goodbye Doris some sweet love: "Fox Jaws are real people ... But what they create is on the verge of brilliance, what they live are lives worth documentation, when they die it sounds amazing, when they breathe it brings the audience to life." -- Exclaim
In the past years Fox Jaws has had the pleasure of partaking in a wide variety of musical events; this includes sharing the stage with The Constantines, Wintersleep, Cuff The Duke, Grizzly Bear, Tokyo Police Club, The Meligrove Band, The Junction, Matt Mays, and The Most Serene Republic; having their music used in an independent skateboarding video ("First One's Free") and in the full-length film, "Fuel" as well as being featured at Pop Montreal, Over the Top, NXNE, Barrie Jazz, and SCENE festivals. Fox Jaws has frequented the Toronto Music scene, being invited to headline at places like the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern, the Mod Club and the Drake Hotel.
The group, now over four years old, with a new LP, a new name and quickly rising popularity will shortly be arriving in your town with hopes of infecting all with the Fox Jaws bug. With the willingness to play anywhere, anytime, some friends to help them along the way, and a desire to "put Barrie on the Map," the future looks promising for Fox Jaws, indeed."
