No matter where you go, the cross-pollination of bands within a local music community is a constant. Friendships flourish, creative ideas meld, and allegiances shift. The heart of North Carolina is no different: Handsome Foxes and Unifier bloomed from the same seed, and finally time brings them back together for the new F+U Split, due for a digital release through Autumn + Colour on October 15^th.

Already having shared several shows together in their current forms, after a history of sharing members and shows in previous bands, the decision to team up was a natural one, complicated only by Handsome Foxes’current member split between North Carolina and D.C.  Luckily they overcame the distance and were able to gradually record a few tracks, as Unifier wrote a few new songs of their own for the collaboration.

The four Foxes found themselves through their common frustrations with fatal attractions and lost time. Their response: Don’t Care. This concept was a real life mentality and the band’s freshman release, finding a niche within a strange world mixed among Punk, Emo, and 90’s Alternative. Meanwhile, Unifier was creating their debut LP “Colorado”, and now seeks to expand on the album’s positive reception and success with the F+U Split; a testament to the possibilities of D.I.Y. efforts despite the grind of everyday life.

Pre-order the split through iTunes on October 1^st, or catch Unifier and Handsome Foxes during their October 11^th-13^th release weekend to grab a physical copy and vent with the dudes. You can also find Unifier on a Northeast tour in support of the release October 3^rd-10^th. Make sure to keep up with both bands on their social media!
