Phoxjaw
About the band
Sometimes dreamy, sometimes operatic vocals weave their way intricately over a shimmering haze of warmly threatening guitars and pummelling bass and drums. This is the core of PHOXJAW. Beyond that, unconventional instrumentation and a collective sense of cooperation come fully into play in Royal Swan, their debut LP released 2020 via Hassle Records. On display are a fine collection of heavy, progressive rock songs which also manage to flirt with the mainstream – a rare and difficult feat. Possessing a unique identity and eccentric charm PHOXJAW are for the most part indefinable sonically, but with a fascinating brain and a highly-relatable emotive heart.
Having toured with Black Peaks, Loathe, Pagan, Zakk Sabbath’s cruise, sets at 2000Trees and ArcTanGent festivals and plenty more already, PHOXJAW have begun making waves in the UK underground rock scene. Solid support from Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, Dan P Carter’s BBC R1 Rock Show, Total Guitar Magazine and more has earmarked this band as ones to watch, and rightly so.
