In the summer of 2003 Nigel Thomas, at the time a mental health professional, and Alex Douglas formed the acoustic duo \\'Rush Hour Soul\\' in London. With the addition of two band members and a name change to \\"The Foxes\\" the current line-up was formed: Thomas (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Jonathan Bretman (lead guitar), Douglas (bass, backing vocals) and Stephen Wilde (drums). Thomas writes the music and lyrics and the band work without a press agent or manager. The Foxes critically acclaimed[1][2] \\'Lover, Killer\\' EP was released in August 2007 and sold in CD format, limited to 500 hand numbered copies. In 2008, the band formed their own record label \\'Room 10 Records\\'. The name originates from the room the band used for rehearsal at Survival Studios in North London.[3] The first release on the new label was the début Single \\'Trauma Town\\' on 20 October 2008, which was sold in limited edition vinyl format and digital download. On 16 March 2009 the single \\'Bill Hicks\\' (based on famous comedian) was released on CD, vinyl and digital download. On 3 August 2009 they released a new recording of \\'Lover, Killer\\' as a single on CD, vinyl and digital download, along with a video filmed by Nigel Thomas\\' brother. On 17th May 2010 they released the \\"Depression, Joy and a Moment of Fame\\" EP, a precursor to their début album.
