Single review: Silver Foxes – Second Chance
Hot on the heels of their debut single ‘Knock Me Down’, and keen to capitalise on their success and growing popularity, Maidstone’s finest indie pop scamps Silver Foxes release their second single.
A surprisingly well written ‘Second Chance’ tells the age old story of boy meets girl, boy meets another girl and cheats on the first girl, first girl gets mad but gives boy a second chance, boy does it again, and repeat. This time though singer Poppy Wilson has had enough; ‘too many many times have I given you a second chance/and I won’t be handing it too you anymore’. The payoff comes in the dying seconds of the song as she sings ‘and what goes around is surely going to come back to get you’.
Musically Silver Foxes have a bright, fresh and remarkably assured sound, which is beyond the tender years of this teenage band. For the second time with Silver Foxes I find myself at the end of the song wanting to hear more, I think it’s time they stopped drip feeding us one song at a time and released an EP! 4/5
