Alt-Rocker Bryce Fox Embraces Fragility And Destruction On ‘The Butterfly And The Bomb’
March 21, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Today, Nashville alt-rock artist Bryce Fox releases his new full-length album, The Butterfly and the Bomb, via Nettwerk. Produced by David Pramik (Oliver Tree, Machine Gun Kelly), Aaron Chafin (X Ambassadors, Tofer Brown) and Boonn (grandson, Mike Shinoda) and mixed by Neal Avron (Linkin Park, Twenty-One Pilots) and Mark Needham (Imagine Dragons, Killers), Fox explores fragility and destruction on the full-length release, reflecting on how to navigate a chaotic world as a new father. Listen HERE.
“Being married and having a kid really shaped this new music and gave it such a different tone,” Fox says. “I’m a concerned father now and I’m definitely thinking about the world differently now that my son is here, and that’s reflected in my music. My energy has changed so much. I’m not chasing girls in LA anymore; my music is more existential and more concerned with the bigger world. Going into this album I was nervous that I couldn’t write anything that wasn’t ‘Sexy Town, USA,’ which had been my old shtick. This album has definitely opened up a world of substance and depth that I didn’t realize I’d be able to access, because it’s something that I really hadn’t written much about before. This new music is a lot deeper and the vibe is heavier, and I’m proud and excited that I was able to write an album with as much depth across many different topics.”
If cutting-edge pop music in America is a melting pot of styles, genres, and influences, then the Nashville-based alt-rock artist Bryce Fox has one hand firmly on the stirring stick. By harnessing a mix of inspirations and diverse sonic pathways while embracing the regional touchstones and personal details of his own melting-pot All-American story, Bryce Fox has arrived in a major way. With two previous albums under his belt, Fox has received millions of streams, including an RIAA Gold-certified record with “Horns” off Heaven on Hold (2017), and radio support from stations such as KCRW, KROQ, KTCL and more. He has also gone on to perform with the likes of Matt Maeson, Charlotte Cardin, Frenship and has received press support from NYLON, Billboard, and Earmilk. Topping it off, his music has been featured in many film, tv and commercial campaigns including Disney, Netflix, NBC, HBO, WWE, UFC, Fox Sports, ESPN and more. With his latest album, The Butterfly and the Bomb, Fox proves he has shown up in a major way – deeply personal and completely unrestrained.
