Foghound Release Jim Forrester Benefit Single “Keep on Shoveling”

foghound david a wright

As the Maryland and greater East Coast heavy underground continues to struggle in making any sense of the ain’t-gonna-ever-make-any-sense-because-it’s-utterly-senseless murder last month of Rev. Jim Forrester, one-time bassist for Sixty Watt Shaman who was lately featured in the lineups for Foghound and Serpents of Secrecy, real-world fiscal concerns have continued to rear their heads for his wife and his family. Accordingly, Foghound have issued a new digital single through Ripple Music titled “Keep on Shoveling” as a name-your-price download, and perhaps more than any name-your-price download I’ve ever seen, this one invites the actual naming of a price. Like, actual money you should pay. All proceeds go directly to Jim‘s family.

Recorded by Frank “The Punisher” Marchand, “Keep on Shoveling” is the first new Foghound material to come out since their 2016 sophomore long-player and Ripple debut, The World Unseen (review here), and rest assured, it fucking rocks, even under the shittiest of circumstances. Seriously though, pay for it, even if you just toss a couple bucks their way. Few causes will be as worthy of your support in 2018 — at least one hopes.

Keep on Shoveling (Rev Jim Forrester Benefit) – by Foghound

All proceeds from downloads of this song will go directly to benefit the family.

Rev. Jim Forrester was murdered, as you may know, leaving behind a grieving widow just before Christmas. This is the newest Foghound song, tracked with Frank Marchand while working on the new full length album, and was to be used as a special split 7″ project. Instead, we’re releasing it now to benefit the family of Rev Jim.

About this track, Chuck Dukehart III, Rev’s good friend and band mate in Foghound, had this to say. “It’s funny, because I actually wrote the lyrics to this song about perseverance in the face of adversity, specifically with him in mind after his first big health scare, but it’s kind of a universal truth.

Keeping on keeping on, no matter the odds and the bullshit thrown in your way….

Head down, keep on Shoveling….”
Head down, keep on Shoveling….”

Name your price download – please support the family of our slain brother, and enjoy some heaviness.
