Brook Fox has never been the kind of artist to hide behind a metaphor for the sake of it. The South-West Wales indie-pop/rock songwriter deals in feeling you can touch — emotionally direct lines, working-class honesty, and the kind of energy that doesn’t ask permission before it fills a room. It’s a sound that’s been building steadily around him, powered by reputation-making live shows and a growing catalogue shaped by obsession, not convenience.
.
That obsession, Fox says, really took hold during the 2020 pandemic. While the world slowed down, his songwriting sped up. He found himself drawn to artists like Sam Fender and Catfish and the Bottlemen — not just for the earworm hooks, but for the way their lyrics carry lived experience with grit and clarity. It wasn’t escapism. It was a blueprint: write it straight, write it true, and make it loud enough for people to feel seen.
Now, Fox returns with his new single, ‘Together’ — a vibrant indie-pop/rock release that reaches back to the electric rush of the 2000s and early 2010s indie scene, when guitars were sharp, drums were restless, and choruses were built to be shouted back at the stage. Drawing influence from bands like Bloc Party and Two Door Cinema Club, ‘Together’ is driven by chunky guitars, offbeat disco drums, and a simple-but-deadly chorus — the perfect ingredients for an indie anthem that knows exactly what it’s here to do.

Bringing the track to life once again is Fox’s trusted producer and mixer, Tim Hamill, whose decades of industry experience give the single its punch and polish without sanding down its edge. There’s a lived-in confidence to the production — tight, bright, and built for movement — and it also marks a key moment for Fox: this is the debut studio performance of his live band. If you’ve caught them on stage, you’ll know they don’t do “restrained.” They do momentum.
That momentum has already carried Fox into support slots with Liverpool’s Keyside and Glastonbury performer Mali-Haf, and the energy of those live rooms is stamped all over ‘Together’. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t just play — it lifts. The kind that turns a crowd into a chorus without even trying.

“This song is a love letter to the songs that inspired me in the first place, writing this felt like rediscovering my obsession with music,” Fox shares. “Lyrically, it’s just based around a night out in my hometown and just wanting to escape the judgment of being different. I think it’ll speak to a lot of people.” It’s a sentiment that lands hard in a culture still obsessed with conformity: the desire to disappear into the night, not out of shame, but out of self-preservation — and to find your people in the noise.
The BBC Radio Welsh A-Lister has hinted that ‘Together’ is only one piece of a larger puzzle. Whether that means an EP, an album, or a broader new era is still under wraps — but the signal is clear: Fox is building something, and he’s doing it with intention.

You can listen to ‘Together’ now on all major streaming platforms — and if this single is any indication, Brook Fox’s next chapter won’t be quiet.
