Phillip Fox’s Heartland Coming This September

PHILLIP FOX BAND TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM “HEARTLAND” 9/2/14

Phillip Fox Band, the ‘Country-Fried Rock N’ Roll’ band from Columbus OH, will release its debut full length studio album “Heartland” September 2nd. The album was produced by Joe Viers (Dr. John, Eric Clapton, Bobaflex) at Sonic Lounge Studios in Grove City, OH. The band completed the album in January and launched a Kickstarter campaign raising over $18,000 to release the new record. The CD consists of 12 powerful, emotionally charged tracks. From the tenacity of “I Ain’t Angry” and “Nothin’ Worse Than Weak” to the down-home feeling of “Heartland”, Phillip Fox Band have crafted an album that is full of hope, loss, love and the truth.

Phillip Fox Band is comprised of lead vocalist/guitarist Phillip Fox, drummer Austin Nill, bassist Jonathan Kampfe, and guitarist David Morckel.

The album’s title “Heartland” has a double-meaning according to Fox. The “Motor City Blood EP” was about where I came from, my roots in Detroit. This record is more about where we call home now, and that’s Ohio. For a long time Ohio’s slogan was ‘The Heart of it All’ and in a small way we wanted to pay tribute to that. But in a grander sense, I’ve traveled to four continents and there are just places that feel welcoming to certain folks and places that don’t. I’ve found that if I get too far away from open fields, trees, and a little soil in the air, I start getting antsy, a little claustrophobic. It didn’t matter if it was in Japan, Spain, or New York state. “Heartland” is about finding those places wherever we are that speak to us and feel like home.”

“Heartland” track listing:

1. You are the Girl
2. Writin a New Damn Book
3. Been Workin Hard
4. Lovin You (Never Felt Like Work)
5. Ava Lee
6. Nothin Worse than Weak
7. Heartland
8. We All Lose Somethin
9. I’d Be Runnin Too
10. Cancer Cannot
11. Don’t Forget Me
12. I Ain’t Angry (But I’m Feelin Mean)

2014 will see the band playing over 200 dates including headlining slots at Ohio Bike Week and larger festivals such as Buckle Up featuring Alabama, Willy Nelson, Jamey Johnson, Old Crow Medicine Show, Cadillac Three, and more.
