“If you’ve never heard of Phillip Foxley then you should seek out his music, turn up the volume and zone out. It reflects the maturity so loved and appreciated in the great blues rock players. His song collection has all the right stuff; edgy blues to classically styled rock to soft acoustic and piano tunes. It’s like listening to three generations of blues-rock on one album”. Jamsphere Magazine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phillip Foxley is a multi-genre songwriter, guitarist and music producer. He writes Blues, Rock, Punk and Piano/Acoustic music for TV and film soundtrack licensing from his home studio in North Wales, UK. With influences like Buzzcocks, The Clash, Snowy White, David Gilmour, Mick Ronson and Leslie West, Foxley has now released his own debut album entitled "I'll Try 'Till I Die", an eclectic collection of original blistering blues rock guitar and soft acoustic and piano tracks written over the years. Foxley says "Every track on this album means so much and every note is from my very soul". This album is like my musical life story. It’s also a ‘big’ album in that there are over twenty tracks on it already and, because I don’t intend to release any more albums, I just keep adding tracks to it as they are released. Phillip Foxley
She Said Yes! A light-hearted Buzzcocks / Pete Shelley influenced punk song about a young guy eventually plucking up courage to ask a girl for a date.
It's Up To Us! (acoustic version) - feat. Deri A simple, very stripped back acoustic song originally written in August 2017 with a strong, positive message about unity, understanding and freedom in the world today. Deri's superb vocal transformed a simple song into something special for me.
Promises - Part1 Not my usual genre at all but this track was written as a demo pitch for a film scene and, although it was shortlisted from a large number of entries, it wasn't ultimately selected. This however, gave me the confidence to release it to a wider audience in the hope that a true rapper out there would take it on and show me how it should be done. I call this 'Part1' because there is much more to this soundbite in terms of chorus and verse return etc. Stop by anytime.
I've Forgotten Something Else! - feat Pete Hopkins This is a tale about a forgetful guy who has to be constantly reminded about times and dates and being in the right place etc. Could be any one of us, right?
It's Up To Us! (Piano Version) A simple, piano version of a pop song demo, written in August 2017 with a strong, positive message about unity, understanding and freedom in today's world. Deri's superb vocal transformed a simple song into something special for me.
No Problems (Instrumental) An acoustic guitar instrumental piece written in Feb 2016 specifically for a film clip. The Director wanted a simple, understated yet melodic acoustic guitar piece approx 2 mins long. This is what I came up with.
It's All About You! A simple, energetic punk rock track written in Feb 2018, with a powerful message for politicians everywhere. Vocals: Raphael Gazal Drums: Jason Meekins Mastered by: Ed Rome
The Place! A simple Dark Blues Rock track written in Jan 2015 about a guy in a dark place.
I Don't Want To Go! This is a dark acoustic ballad about mortality – very different to my usual Blues Rock style, but it's just how it turned out :-) Actually, this one was intended to be an intro to a much heavier song, but the story got so long that it became a song in its own right.
I'll Be Right There! A simple, fast paced rock song written in 2013. Such a blast to play.
It's Up To Us! (Rock Version) A simple pop rock song written in August 2017, with a strong message about unity, understanding and freedom in today's world.
Racing Thru Time (Instrumental) A slow, guitar based Blues Rock guitar instrumental version of a song originally written in 2014. Thought I'd give it an airing.
Falling For You! A simple rock n' roll song about a guy with a secret love for someone he's known for ages.
Indian Summer (Instrumental) I wrote this song lounging around in a hammock with a few beers on a boiling hot day in the summer of 2012.
Demon Lover A simple Blues Rock song originally written way back in 1997 and released as an instrumental in Nov 2012. Thought it was now time to try a vocal version.
I Don't Mind! - feat vocal by Anna Yanova-Cattoor Written in May 2015 with Duffy's great singing style in mind, this track is quite a departure from my usual blues rock style - it just sort of came out during a guitar knockabout and I quite liked it.
Promises (piano version) feat. Anna Yanova-Cattoor A sad piano blues song written in 2013 about a relationship destroyed by lies and deceit. I had intended to go to town with massive orchestration on this one, but the more I listened to Anna's superb vocal, the more it suited the simplest arrangement.
9/16/2020 6:15:14 AM I think we have to talk about tv and somekind of music show. these music show have just nothing and some of the time they are wasting our https://www.aussiewritingreviews.com/essayroo-review/ time, I just think it is not valid and we cannot understand all that which is necessary for music.

1/1/2018 7:10:15 AM I'm really touched by this review of my latest song 'It's Up To Us! - feat. vocal by Deri'. The song is available in both rock and piano versions and it has a strong, positive message about unity, understanding and freedom in today's world. https://dancingaboutarchitecture.info/2017/10/06/scene-and-heard-ccxviii-its-up-to-us-phillip-foxley/ This song is also on my IMP profile page, so I hope you can spare a minute or two to have a listen. http://indiemusicpeople.com/artist.aspx?id=160672 Thank you!
