\"Phoxjaw\"
\nWhen it comes to “exciting new bands” within the UK, Phoxjaw<\/b> are most definitely one to be considered for such a tagline. Formed just over two years ago in Bristol, the quartet have been building a reputation as a ferocious live band. Their resum\u00e9 includes a handpicked slot at this year’s 2000trees Festival and playing shows with Black Foxxes, Black Peaks and Loathe.<\/p>\n

This month sees Phowjax<\/strong> truly make their\u00a0mark. First, they’re releasing their long-awaited debut EP, ‘Goodbye Dinosaur\u2026’<\/i>. It combines grungy, distorted riffs with lyrical depth. ‘Triceratops’<\/em> and ‘Lottery’<\/em> have already seen the Bristol band receive plenty of praise. While ‘Dinosaur Bones’<\/em> ebbs and flows between its murky verses and stomping chorus. ‘Weapons’<\/em> is a meddling onslaught with pop sensibilities before ‘Plastic Wedding’<\/em> rounds out the EP, highlighting the bands more experimental side with droning guitars and its ominous atmosphere.\u00a0Shortly\u00a0after dropping their impressive debut EP, they’ll be heading out on tour with blackened rock n’ roll quartet Pagan<\/a>. If you’re wanting a night out of big riffs and throat-soaring melodies, then the pairing of Pagan and\u00a0Phoxjaw<\/strong> isn’t to be ignored.<\/p>\n

As he had some quiet time before preparing to hit the road later this month, we asked\u00a0Phoxjaw\u00a0<\/strong>vocalist and bassist\u00a0Danny Garland to pick out a selection of songs he’ll be playing on repeat while on tour.<\/p>\n
