Phoxjaw is a dynamic and captivating alternative rock band hailing from Bristol, UK. With their unique blend of heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and thought-provoking lyrics, they have quickly gained a reputation for their energetic live performances and genre-defying sound.
Formed in 2016, Phoxjaw has been making waves in the music scene with their powerful and emotive songwriting. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences, including grunge, punk, and post-rock, they create a sound that is both familiar yet refreshingly original.
Their debut album [title] showcases their ability to seamlessly transition between atmospheric melodies and explosive anthems. With tracks like [song name], Phoxjaw effortlessly captures the listener's attention with their raw energy and infectious hooks.

The endlessly mercurial, maverick Bristolian quartet Phoxjaw release their debut full-length record, Royal Swan, via Hassle Records. Born from a cabin-fevered recording experience at Devil’s Bridge in Wales, Royal Swan harks back to a fantastical medieval England. Without being overtly political, Royal Swan also details the tension inherent in modern day Great Britain – the sense of isolation and resentment the United Kingdom has fostered versus trying to retain a sense of pride in one’s own country. Listen out especially for the title-track and opening track for this. To this end, and in classic Phoxjaw style, Royal Swan enlists a range of local musicians and sound-experiences, adding to the band’s core unique sound.

Devil’s Bridge Cottage leaves its mark on the record, fostering Phoxjaw’s claustrophobic recording experience and physically shaping the sound, with each band member recording in separate rooms (and guitars in an airing cupboard). Self-produced, with drums recorded by Lewis Johns, Royal Swan marks Phoxjaw’s step into the limelight following two highly respected EPs (2018's Goodbye Dinosaur... and 2019's A Playground For Sad Adults). A rare group who combine humour, quirk, intrigue, a huge range of influences, and power, Phoxjaw are a band who’ll never stop having things to say.
