In the darkest of times while the world faces political and
environmental uncertainties of grand proportions, the responsibility
of artists to reflect on the state of the world becomes undeniable.
The STONE FOXES – with Shannon Koehler at the helm – set a
piercing depiction of greed, deception, and loss with a new collection
of epic rock anthems on their upcoming EP, Gold (Release Date:
February 28, 2020). While Shannon etches his name amongst rock’s
royalty with his idiosyncratic vocals, his writing partner and brother
Spence Koehler provides the unmistakable guitar tone that has shaped
their identity. The two brothers co-write The STONE FOXES’ latest
bout of stunners performed alongside a cast of all-star collaborators
for the recording sessions of Gold.The Stone Foxes are masterminds
behind hook-laden arrangements landing upwards of 25 national sync
placements with the likes of BMW, Jack Daniels, Budweiser, Levi’s,
Sons of Anarchy, Jansport, and the Academy Award-winning documentary
film, Free Solo. On Gold, The Stone Foxes enlist composer/sound
designer Jon Shamieh (Converse, Impossible Burger, The Walking Dead)
for the opening track “I Want Gold” and lead single “The Death
Of Me.” The EP features three lauded women vocalists Oona
Garthwaite, AhSa-Ti Nu Ford Tyehimba, and Kelly McFarling on the
tracks “Can’t Go Back” and “Running Out Of Space.” Jay
Pellicci (Deerhoof, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down) engineered and
mixed Gold. Each song was written and recorded in tandem with the
Koehler brother’s mainstay partners Ben Andrews, Brian Bakalian,
Vince Dewald, and Elliott Peltzman.
Amassing a global fanbase with more than 30 million Spotify spins from
over 218,000 monthly listeners and relentless touring over the past
decade, The Stone Foxes bring Gold to fans worldwide with premier
headlining appearances at the Adidas Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon
(Santiago, Chile: Nov. 9, 2019) and NoisePop 2020 (The Independent,
San Francisco, CA: Feb. 29, 2020). In spring 2020, The Stone Foxes
headline venerable venues across the United States (February - April
2020) in support of Gold.
The Stone Foxes have solidified their reputation as a commanding live
act built on the musicians' dynamism and blue-collar work ethic. The
band’s restless spirit driving their live shows powers the
songwriting and performances on Gold. Lead vocalist Shannon Koehler
– who lives with a pacemaker and has undergone 11 heart surgeries
– doesn’t for a second take life for granted. Living with a
no-fear attitude as an outspoken critic of the oppressive powers
running the country, Shannon lays it all on the line on Gold.
