Blackfox’s Latest Album ‘Blackfox4’

October 10, 2025

Atlanta indie rock veterans Blackfox return with their fourth album, 4, a dynamic journey across alternative rock, new wave, punk, power pop, and prog. Built on driving guitars, soaring vocals, and atmospheric keys, the record delivers both punch and depth.

Song Descriptions

Beaming – A guitar and vocal powerhouse penned by Andy Gish.

Bring Your Fire / Jump – Punk-leaning, dance-ready tracks with an ‘80s edge.

Goodbye This Time – California-tinged breakup song with Monica Arrington’s standout vocal.

She Died Inside – Smart ‘80s power pop, in the vein of Joe Jackson, Elvis Costello, Squeeze.

Strangers – Atmospheric and heavy, a Pink Floyd-style homage.

Sacred – Dual-vocal prog romp shifting between 6/8 and 4/4.

Blackfox plays sludgy, guitar-driven rock rooted in a grungy blues that’s dirty yet melodic. Their songs veer from sinister heaviness to melodic clarity, moving through hard-rocking punk energy, acoustic-driven ballads, and psych-ambient explorations.

Led by veteran multi-instrumentalist and sonic visionary Stacey Cargal, the band blends garage, blues, gospel, and country influences with elements of noise and space rock. Each track feels lived-in and dangerous, crafted with the confidence earned from years in the trenches.

Dark, eerie, and defiantly unclassifiable, Blackfox keeps listeners on edge while delivering a deeply satisfying, unapologetically raw musical experience.

Paul Scott Releases New Single ‘The Angry Boyz’

November 21, 2024

Musically the track is somewhere between pop, punk and disco, which I have never referred to as ‘posco’. Lyrically it went like this: I was witness to a statement purporting to be fact that was so egregious in it’s falsehood and so inept in it’s delivery, it made me laugh. A comic manifesto for the angry boys. That’s how it starts, not just the song, but also the trouble. ‘Garbage truckers’ is not a reference to the good people of our cities’ sanitation departments, it’s the gossip we drown in.

Paul Scott began his career in music, writing and playing bass in angular NZ group Pop Mechanix. Despite court cases, a revolving cast of singers and multiple record labels, their single ‘Jumping Out A Window’ became a staple of New Zealand pop culture.

Relocating to Australia, Paul formed Montana with Ken Stewart (Mr Blonde), Michelle Margherita and Steve Melville. Their first release featured ‘Koolest Band’ which received national airplay and high rotation on JJJ. A brief tour of the USA and a performance at SXSW, led to ‘Koolest Band’ being included in the Hollywood movie ‘You Drive Me Crazy’. The subsequent album ‘Bubblegum Love’ was released in Australia, Spain, France and the USA.

Scott has since plied bass for various Australian acts, playing everywhere from community halls and malls in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to the Sydney Opera House. Teaming up with Steve Melville (ex Mr Blonde and Montana) Paul and Steve have established a studio production relationship, playing on each other’s tracks (Stewart and Melville, The Likes of You) and coproducing The Insufferable Paul Scott’s well received 2021 album ‘Tea and Medals’ (which Melville also mixed).

Their most recent project is a closer collaboration with Melville adding drums, percussion and keyboards to Scott’s voice, guitar and bass, a line up very close in sound and feel to their youthful unit ‘Montana’. “I was looking for the kind of pop thrill I used to get from great Aussie indie bands such as The Falling Joys, Smudge, The Hummingbirds, pop thrills… you know?” says Scott. An album has been completed and tracks will be released over the next few months on Foghorn, home to most of their releases to date.
