I love watching the story of Stonefoxx as it unfolds – I first heard about them in September 2007, and they still keep in touch.

With the music press talking more and more about the rise of new girl groups like The Saturdays, it seems record companies are on the hunt for marketable pop princesses. Stonefoxx might just fit that description.

They’ve toured with Shayne Ward, and they’re lined up to support Sugababes in concert this Saturday in Butlins, Minehead. Better still, rumours of a record company bidding war are hotting up:

"The Saturday’s have shown there’s room for fresh pop music at the top of the charts", commented Stonefoxx group member Stacy Burton, 23, from Mansfield. "But every single girl group are on the Universal label. Now it’s time for EMI, Warners and SonyBMG to take a slice of that pie, and they’re all looking to us!"

If you want more Stonefoxx goodness, check out this BBC feature on the band and meet the people behind the scenes styling and working for them.

They’ve also got a Facebook fan page where you can stalk them, and of course the de rigeur MySpace page.

The band are hoping to have signed a deal by Christmas, and then hopefully the British public will get to see what we’ve been raving about. We’ll keep you posted about the latest Stonefoxx news as we get it!
