New Foxy Shazam Single Unleashed ‘Too Fast To Let Go’

October 15, 2025 rocknews

Cincinnati’s theatrical rock mavericks Foxy Shazam are igniting 2025 with their wild new single ‘Too Fast To Let Go’, a piano-pounding, guitar-shredding riot from their 10th studio album Box of Magic (out now via self-release/DistroKid). Frontman Eric Nally’s operatic howl, paired with Sky White’s keys, Loren Turner’s riffs, and Alex Nauth’s trumpet blasts, delivers a frenetic banger that’s equal parts Queen, Panic! at the Disco, and unhinged glee. Dropped October 6, 2025, with a kaleidoscopic music video bursting with absurd visuals, it follows the Corey Feldman-featuring ‘You Know My Name’ and cements Box of Magic as a “kaleidoscope of imagination,” per Maximum Volume Music. For me, Foxy Shazam remain an all-time favorite—ever since their electrifying set opening for The Darkness in 2010 melted my MP3 player with their self-titled album on repeat. Thanks to Peacemaker’s spotlight on ‘Oh Lord’ as its title track, they’re finally hitting the wider audience they deserve.

With nine tracks of feel-good chaos, Box of Magic is Foxy Shazam at their boldest. Stream the single, grab the album, and brace for tour madness—these rock renegades are unstoppable.

‘Too Fast To Let Go’: A Theatrical Rock Firestorm

‘Too Fast To Let Go’ is Foxy Shazam’s manic soul laid bare: Sky White’s piano flourishes crash into Loren Turner’s searing guitars, Alex Nauth’s trumpet wails, and Misster Universe’s bass groove, with Devin Williams (guitar) and Teddy Aitkins (drums) driving the frenzy. Eric Nally’s vocals soar from feral to angelic in 3:15 of pure rock theater. Kill The Music calls the video “a riot of color and absurdity,” capturing the band’s live-wire chaos that’s been torching stages since 2004. Reddit’s r/foxyshazam raves: “That riff at 2:30 is a live banger—insane energy!”

As track seven on Box of Magic, it builds on ‘You Know My Name’ (feat. Corey Feldman, September 3) and lead single ‘Magic’ (August 2025), blending glam-rock swagger with unpredictable hooks. Nally sums it up: “A box has six sides, six members… what happens is magic.” With 45K+ YouTube views in days, it’s primed for their cult fanbase and Peacemaker-fueled newcomers.

Box of Magic: A Nine-Track Explosion, Out Now

Released October 6, 2025, Box of Magic is Foxy Shazam’s first LP since 2014’s Gonzo, self-recorded in their Cincinnati hometown for raw, nostalgic magic. Maximum Volume Music hails its “fearless unpredictability,” with “honeyed melodies, lush orchestrations, and soaring vocals” (That Eric Alper). Nine tracks weave quirky anthems and soulful swings:

It’s Not the End of the World (upbeat opener)
You Know My Name (feat. Corey Feldman) (retro fire)
What’s It To Me (introspective groove)
Happy Happy Birthday (whimsical romp)
Just Loving This Life (feel-good anthem)
Ooo Baby (sultry strut)
Too Fast To Let Go (manic centerpiece)
Magic (title spark)
Lightning in the Summer Heat (stormy closer)

Available on vinyl, digital, and streaming via DistroKid, with merch bundles (tees, signed posters) in their store. It’s a love letter to fans who, like me, wore out Foxy Shazam (2010) and found salvation in Peacemaker’s ‘Oh Lord’ spotlight, pushing their streams past 1M monthly on Spotify.

**Foxy Shazam: My Rock Obsession, From Darkness to Peacemaker Fame**

Foxy Shazam stole my heart opening for The Darkness in 2010—Nally’s stage dives, White’s piano flips, and that raw, theatrical chaos left me spinning their self-titled LP until my MP3 player begged for mercy. Formed in 2004 from nu-metal roots (Nally’s Train of Thought), they hit big with The Flamingo Trigger (2005) and Sire’s 2010 self-titled, earning Alternative Press’ “100 Bands You Need to Hear.” Peacemaker’s use of ‘Oh Lord’ (from 2012’s The Church of Rock and Roll) skyrocketed their cult status, with James Gunn’s HBO Max hit introducing their glam-punk madness to millions—YouTube views for the track top 2M.

The lineup—Eric Nally (vocals), Sky White (piano), Alex Nauth (trumpet/backing vox), Misster Universe (bass), Loren Turner (guitar), Devin Williams (guitar), Teddy Aitkins (drums)—delivers “75% controlled chaos,” per Reddit. Post-2014 hiatus, they’ve toured with The Strokes and Head Automatica (2023). Spin dubbed them a “must-know” band; now, Box of Magic proves they’re rock’s wildest showmen.

Tour Buzz: Chaos Awaits in 2026

No confirmed tour yet, but X whispers of a 2026 run—think Cincinnati homecoming, EU festivals, maybe US clubs post-Peacemaker buzz. Follow @foxyshazamtv for updates; their “cinematic universe” of videos teases more collabs. As Nally declares, “It’s not the end of the world”—just the start of more Shazam insanity.
