Bill Fox

:"for the New Zealand politician see Bill Fox (New Zealand), for the baseball player see Bill Fox (baseball)"Bill Fox was lead singer and guitarist of the three-piece Cleveland, Ohio, garage pop band The Mice, which existed from January 1985 to 1988. They released two albums, "For Almost Ever" and "Scooter" (re-released by Scat Records as "For Almost Ever Scooter" in 2004), and were a major influence on the burgeoning Ohio power pop scene, including Dayton's Guided by Voices. Fox released two solo albums, "Shelter from the Smoke" (originally released in 1996 on Fox's Cherry Pop label and re-released by SpinArt in 1997) and "Transit Byzantium" (SpinArt, 1998), did a brief West Coast tour for the latter, promptly quit the music business and remained disconnected from all media contacts regarding his music for a nearly decade.

On April 3, 2008, Scat Records announced that Bill agreed to allow them to re-release both of his albums on vinyl and CD. "Shelter from the Smoke" is scheduled for a September release and should include all songs from both versions of the album as well as the "Bird of the World" 7" single.

Fox is the subject of a long article by Joe Hagan in the June/July 2007 issue of "The Believer", in which he is referred to as "one of America’s greatest contemporary songwriters."
