With the release of the Rerun album, The Foes of Fern takes the best parts of several genres to create a sound all their own. With addictive progressions, loads of character, and an unstoppable energy, the track boasts the aesthetic of pop and indie-rock anthems and so much more.

"Each song on rerun has its own meaning but as with most of my music, it's basically an overview of a time period of my life. These songs were mainly created between 2018 and 2022 with the exception of both of the Spanish songs, "Adios" which I wrote in 2014 and "Mi Amor" which was written in 2016. 

 

Some of these songs were written during the early pandemic as well. Rerun speaks of that moment in time when you just want to surround yourself with your favorite most familiar stories. The world was burning so why not lose yourself in another season of friends, new girl, game of thrones, breaking bad etc. Whatever show brought you the most comfort before the pandemic. I then took it one step forward and thought, if I can rewatch my favorite shows why can't I relive one of my favorite past relationships? Yes, the last couple of episodes sucked but there were full seasons of us dating that brought me so much joy," explains songwriter Fern of the album. ​

The Foes of Fern began after Fern's other bands had ended.

" I had played in a few bands where I loved the music and the people, but we were such a closed nit union that if one band member could not make a gig then the band could not perform. This also meant that if one band member wanted to move on from the project then the project died. I wanted a project where as long as I wanted the art to continue then the show would always go on. This has created a group where there have been around 40 people in the last 8 years that I consider to be a "Foe," says Fern.

Based out of Asbury Park NJ, the group is built with an eclectic and colorful group of friends who each add a unique flavor to the entourage and its musical paths, but all do so with no boundaries or set rules, breaking the mold of what many would consider a band. 

"The sound evolves because the people evolve. The Foes have always been a multi-layered sound. The evolution comes with different musicians being a part of different phases. I love that we capture people's personalities through their instruments. So, you can feel a difference when Owen is drumming or Andrew or Kay. Same goes with our piano players, horn players, bassists, and singers," says Fern of how the band evolves and as you can see, it all comes down to the people. 

Referred to as "Soulful Multilayered Organic Indie Folk Rock”, The Foes of Fern deliver a fresh and vibrant sound by marrying drums, bass, guitar, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and more. 

The album was released under Telegraph Hill Records which was founded by the band's producer Joe Pomarico and the band has been working with the label since its founding. Telegraph has a big Asbury Park footprint, and the band is proud to be associated with the Telegraph brand and the other bands that put out music with the label. 

The Rerun album is available on all major outlets for streaming and download and the band is always getting the party stated by performing live somewhere.
