    Despite the obvious fun Foxy are having, the darkness that comes from balancing life and career ebbs just beneath the surface, bringing a depth that isn't immediately evident through the copious gloss and glitter. [Feb 2012, p.82]

    This could be the record that provides that breakthrough [to mainstream].

    Like with Foxy's previous efforts, The Church of Rock & Roll shines in its ballsy rejection of modern pop stereotypes, however, the new album slips in its contradictions.

    The first single off of 'The Church of Rock and Roll' may not be a long track, it may not get played on every radio station, and may not win a Grammy, but it will make you want to crank your stereo to 11 and sing your little heart out. 'I like it' is the most fun track on the album, but 'Holy touch' is a close second, with a great video to boot. With a sound reminiscent of Queen with a splash of Jet and a touch of My Chemical Romance, Foxy Shazam will soon be a household name, and for a band formed in 2004, it's about damn time.… Full Review »
