Foxing Announce They’re Going On An Indefinite Hiatus After 14 Years As A Band

After releasing five albums and garnering critical acclaim, St. Louis rock/emo band Foxing might just be done for good: The group just announced they’re going on an indefinite hiatus.

The news came yesterday (September 22) via a post on the band’s Patreon (as archived by a Reddit user). The message reads in full:

“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.”

Foxing’s 2021 album Draw Down The Moon ranked highly on that year’s Uproxx Music Critics Poll. The band’s latest, and perhaps final, album was 2024’s Foxing.
