THE SHARP THINGS -
Foxes & Hounds
"The whole concept was a reactionary thing," explains Perry Serpa, leading
man/head warbler/tunesmith/ivory tickler in NYC's symphonic pop ensemble,

EP (I
and Ear Records, 2005)

the emotionally draining, popular television show, “The O.C.” in
2004........More. |

they bring a much more advanced sound into the punk-rock genre;
a sound more for the kids, rather than for their parents......More. |
