Edmonton, Alberta Canada based rockers King Of Foxes are back on top with their 2018 CD called Salt & Honey. Tastefully packaged with full credits and photo pic, the six track, 23 minute mini-album may be short on time but it’s long on musical ideas and rockin’, guitar-centric riffs that are truly devastating. Vocalist, guitarist and composer Olivia Street is joined by bandmates Brandon Baker (guitars), Reid Thiel (bass), Stew Kirkwood (drums) along with several other fine musicians. Hard to know exactly who to compare the KoF sound to but 1980s pop chanteuse Marti Jones comes to mind and fans of Marti-related titans Marshall Crenshaw and Don Dixon will flip for King Of Foxes. Decades after Ms. Jones, King Of Foxes might not be the most original sound but, clearly delivered with just the right amount of style and verve, Salt & Honey is a superb introduction to an excellent band. With her wonderful songs and stage presence, Olivia Street is a pop-rock talent to keep your eyes and ears on.
