Foxing are currently on the road with mewithoutYou and they ran into horrible luck last night. They write:

Our hearts are truly broken.
Last night while we sleeping our trailer stolen. Literally all of our gear, a lot of Lithuania’s gear, most of our clothes, personal items, and all of our merchandise was taken from us. We’ve contacted the police and filed a report; but as most bands who have been in our position can attest to, chances of recovery are low. We’ve known so many bands who have gone through this ordeal; at this point in history it truly feels like it’s not a matter of if but rather when. Still, there is a difference between witnessing it and living it, and we are definitely ‘living it’ right now. I gotta tell you, it’s just as soul crushing as one might imagine. There are a myriad of emotions running through our collective right now; just writing this is a bit overwhelming. I am grateful this isn’t a message in regards to a car accident or a personal injury, we are all together and trying to remain positive, but like I said at the beginning: this is truly heart breaking.
This may be self-aggrandizing but I look at musicians, and artists a whole, as social servants. It is function and duty of the artist to bring something to other’s lives; in a very small way offer ourselves and our work to the world and hopefully bring people together. Perhaps this is trite, but simply put, the arts saved my life. I know I can speak for everyone in the band when I say that our lives have been forever changed by witnessing and playing music in a live setting. Further more, from meeting and talking to strangers around the country, I believe that we are not alone. Our joy comes from playing our songs for friends and strangers alike, and in so, our instruments were an extension of ourselves; whoever took our things last night took our ability to perform; they took away a part of all of us. We are devastated.

-We are putting all of our shirt designs up on our store; if you’ve ever felt like you want a Foxing shirt, snagging one now would directly help us stay above water: http://foxing.merchnow.com/

-Also, this is really hard for me to write because we’ve always prided ourselves on our self-sufficiency, but we are hurting right now–if you feel like making a donation, you can send something via PayPal: [email protected]

If you’ve read this far down: thank you for your time. We will update you as soon as we can.
Today is a sad day; let’s hold onto to love

Sad to hear. As the above message says, if you’d like to help them out, you can pick up some merch or donate via PayPal ([email protected]).
