Foxtailsomersault's Fan Club

About Foxtailsomersault

Foxtail Somersault was formed when guitarist Seiken Nakama, decided to take his musical passions to the next level. Largely influenced by the shoegaze genre, Foxtail Somersault blends diverse musical styles without being contrived.

Accompanying Seiken's textured guitar layers, Catherine Howland has a voice and lyrics you don't want to miss. James Spadaro's hook-laden guitar melodies, complement the wall of sound style, while bassist Brian Anderson and drummer Mark Dungey construct original and dynamic rhythms. Calling upon influences like Slowdive, Luna, Mogwai, and The Cure, Foxtail Somersault's dreamy, atmospheric yet edgy sound is both original and familiar.

ditto to all the other positive comments. You guys have a great sound reminiscent of Cocteau and My Bloody Valentine, both awesome bands sadly less recognized than deserving. Good luck!

Hey guys,

Been a while since we've crossed paths.

Saw we were trading spots back and forth here for a while at OurStage.
