What is the perfect song for the gym?

‘Back on 74’ by Jungle, I love this track because it has an upbeat sound to it with interesting added cowbells and rhythmic textures to keep interest. A Great song for running.

Jungle – Back On 74 (All Rights Are Retained By Jungle)

What is your go to happy song?

Mac DeMarco ‘Turn my TV on’ my perfect song to sit and listen to when I’ve had a bad day, the song is saying I’ve got all these responsibilities but I’ll turn my TV on instead, and I think that is just brilliant.

Mac DeMarco – Turn My TV On (All Rights Are Retained By Mac DeMarco)

The perfect song to put on while cooking?

I don’t cook that often, usually air frying job or my girlfriend cooks but when I do I’ll listen to the song ‘Tree Among Shrubs’ by Men I Trust, it’s just consequentially the best sounding indie song I’ve heard.

Men I Trust – Tree Among Shrubs (All Rights Are Retained By Men I Trust)

The wind down song at the end of a long day to get you to sleep?

Before bed I’d put on some dreamcore type sounds like ‘snowfall’ by Øneheart slowed and with reverb version. Something about it just sounds familiar in the most comforting way, it also sounds like a PlayStation menu song.

Oneheart – Snowfall (All Rights Are Retained By Oneheart)

The song by Sun In Suburbia that you are most proud of?

Our new single ‘Emergency Exit’ is a song I am the most proud of by us Sun in Suburbia, me Dom and Patrick all spent a lot of time recording layers in his flats stairwell in Hyde Park, Leeds. Which gives more credence to the songs meaning of that feeling of being trapped with no way out.

Sun In Suburbia – Emergency Exit (All Rights Are Retained By Sun In Suburbia)

Your all time favourite rock song?

‘School’ by Nirvana, raw, authentic real and sounds dirty, and seemingly very DIY which we love and take influence from.

Nirvana – School (All Rights Are Retained By Nirvana)

The perfect song to set the mood on a date?

Cant say a specific song but the album ‘ten days ‘ by Fred Again comes to mind straight away, the first track ‘.one’ is very easy to listen to and inviting.

Fred Again.. – .One (All Rights Are Retained By Fred Again..)

A song by an amazing local band we might not know about?

‘Red Summer’ by the Dulakes is a great tune, they are supporting our upcoming gig at the Lending room in Leeds on the 26th of September !

The Dulakes – Red Summer (All Rights Are Retained By The Dulakes)

The perfect pre show song to amp you up?

‘Bug’ by Fontaines D.C absolute banger, gets everyone in the room ready for a good night of drinking on the town.

Fontaines D.C. – Bug (All Rights Are Retained By Fontaines D.C.)

A great song you think Fox Reviews Rock won’t have heard before?

‘Right Now’ by Deeper Sleeper , great tune and the lyrics are even better. All self produced by Josh Harmon the lead singer of the backseat lovers which have some of the best rock tunes I’ve heard.
