Foxing

Foxing have launched a Patreon.

We’re coming up on 10 years of being a band which we find unbelievable. Time with you has flown by. Whether you were there with us in the first basements we played or found us on Tiny Desk, you’ve completely changed our lives. So here’s a Patreon page for those of you want to share in our experience more than you are now. This is where we will be sharing as much of ourselves and our process as we possibly can.

Vulture Interview With Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams

Eve Barlow, writing at Vulture:

The pop-punk and emo scene in the early 2000s. It was brutally misogynistic. A lot of internalized sexism, and even when you were lucky enough to meet other bands who were kind and respectful, there was other shit that wasn’t. And I was really feisty. We got offered Warped tour, and there was a caveat: “It’s a stage called the Shiragirl Stage. It’s all female.” I was pissed! I wanted to qualify for a real stage. When I’ve been offered female opportunities, it feels like a backhanded compliment. But people sometimes think that’s anti-feminist, that I don’t wanna be grouped in with the girls. As a 16-year-old who had dreams of playing with the big boys, it felt like we were being slighted.

And:

Dude, yeah. Summer of condoms, 2006. I got condoms thrown at me. In 2005, I wore T-shirts every day. In 2006, I was a little more comfortable. I’d wear a tank top. But my chest was exposed. We were in San Diego or San Francisco, and a condom flew at me, and it stuck to my chest while I performed. I was so embarrassed. I started talking shit because I was so young and arrogant. I don’t think I was wrong. It’s just I have more anxiety now than I did at 16.

Anyway, yeah, the entire thing is fantastic and worth reading.
