ABOUT

The full-length debut from The Foxies, Who Are You Now, Who Were You Then? is the sound of a band boldly embracing their wildest and most unpredictable impulses. In a thrilling new chapter for vocalist Julia Lauren Bullock, guitarist Jake Ohlbaum, and drummer Rob Bodley, the Nashville-based power trio expand on the dizzy abandon of their acclaimed 2020 EP Growing Up Is Dead, harnessing the explosive freedom of punk while endlessly turning out pop-perfect hooks. An up-close look at self-discovery in a chaotic world, Who Are You Now, Who Were You Then? ultimately matches its visceral impact with bluntly poetic yet heartfelt lyrics—the type of irreverent truth-telling sure to inspire countless tattoos and recklessly scrawled bedroom graffiti.

A decidedly DIY-minded band, The Foxies co-produced Who Are You Now, Who Were You Then? alongside a revolving lineup of collaborators in Los Angeles and Nashville, often laying down tracks in their own home studios. In bringing the album to life, the trio took a cue from pop iconoclasts like Prince and David Bowie and dreamed up a singular sound by alchemizing their eclectic mix of inspirations: new wave and glam-rock, post-punk and grunge, left-field hip-hop and the weirder edges of the pop world. But despite its rule-breaking originality, Who Are You Now, Who Were You Then? remains rooted in The Foxies’ timeless sense of songcraft—a crucial factor in their rare capacity to transform pain and frustration into songs that radiate an irrepressible joy.
