Meet The Music: The Foes of Fern
Hey, We are the Foes of Fern. We are Not a Ska band. We are just a rock band with a horn section and like 15 members that play very fun upbeat music.
Q. What three albums are most inspiring to your band?
Young the Giant, first self titled album. The Beatles, Rubber Soul. Pup, Morbid Stuff.
Q. Can you explain the meaning behind one of the songs on your latest album?
So one of our latest singles is actually a song that I wrote in Spanish. It is my attempt to describe one of those Telenovela's (Spanish soap operas) that are all over day time tv. The song describes a love triangle between a poor main character, a beautiful dangerous woman, and a rich doctor. I wrote it back when I was trying to better my Spanish skills and connect more with the Cuban side of my family. I still speak very broken Spanish, but writing "Mi Amor" was a fun challenge and helped me get a bit better at the language.
Q. What is your favorite thing about Asbury Park?
Summer! I love biking to the beach, running into random friends all over the town, slamming some MOGO tacos, and jumping around between all the music venues. Every day is like a mini festival in town.
Q. What is your favorite MOGO taco?
Beef Taco all the way!
