The Church of Rock and Roll, Foxy Shazam's fourth studio album, arrived on I.R.S. Records in January 2012, and the Cincinnati band rolled it out like a revival tent going up: the first single was handed away free on their Facebook page back in October 2011, the song "Welcome to the Church of Rock and Roll" went to anyone who pre-ordered, and Rolling Stone streamed the whole record online a few days before it hit the shelves.
The title isn't a joke, or not only one. This is hard rock played as a sermon, with Eric Nally hollering from the pulpit, Sky White's piano pounding away, Alex Nauth's trumpet blaring over the top, and Loren Daniel Turner's guitar and Daisy Caplan's bass giving the congregation something to stomp to. It came between the band's self-titled major-label debut and Gonzo, and it sounds like a band that has stopped pretending it doesn't want the big stage.
