Foxy Shazam

Foxy Shazam is an American rock band formed in 2004 in Cincinnati, Ohio, known for their explosive energy, eccentric style, and theatrical live performances. The name "Foxy Shazam" doesn't denote anything specific; the band often said it's just a phrase that sounded cool and embodied their unpredictable, larger-than-life approach to music. Frontman Eric Nally's dynamic vocals and flamboyant stage presence, reminiscent of glam rock icons of the past, lead the ensemble. The rest of the lineup has historically included Loren Turner on guitar, Daisy on bass, Sky White on keyboards, and Aaron McVeigh on drums. Their imaginative sound has been described as a mix of rock, pop, and soul with a punky edge, drawing comparisons with bands like Queen and the Darkness for their skillful blend of classic rock grandiosity and modern sensibilities.

Over the years, Foxy Shazam has achieved a cult following thanks to their remarkable albums and the word-of-mouth buzz generated by their unforgettable live appearances. Their self-titled album "Foxy Shazam," released in 2010, is considered a pivotal work that captures the essence of their genre-defying approach. They continued to build their legacy with "The Church of Rock and Roll" (2012) and "GONZO" (2014), the latter of which was surprise-released as a free download, showcasing their independent ethos. However, in 2014, after a decade of creating music and touring, the band announced they were disbanding indefinitely. This hiatus lasted until 2020 when they returned with new singles, among which "Burn" and "Dreamer" signaled an exciting new chapter for the band. Their music continues to retain its originality and power, demonstrated in the latest offerings such as "The Heart Behead You" and "Not Dark Yet," which manage to both intrigue and delight their devoted fans and new listeners alike.
