FOX FIRE RECORDS - FAQ
Q: Is Fox Fire Records a subsidiary of FLOCO Media?
Yes and No. While Fox Fire Records is owned by FLOCO Media, it is not a standalone subsidiary in the legal or financial sense. Instead, it currently operates as a "Doing Business As" (DBA) under Florida law. This means Fox Fire Records is an official trade name of FLOCO Media but is not incorporated as its own separate legal entity—yet. We are actively working toward evolving Fox Fire Records into its own self-supporting subsidiary as the brand continues to grow. Florida Statute Reference: §865.09 – Fictitious Name Registration Act
Q: How can I book Fox Fire Records talent for a gig or event?
Glad you asked! While Fox Fire Records artists are exclusively contracted to release music through the label, they are free to perform and book shows independently. We do not impose creative restrictions on live events, as we believe in providing our artists with full artistic and personal freedom. Likewise we do not censor their social media. They are free to be as active and controversial as they wish to be on social media and in public. To book a Fox Fire artist, we recommend reaching out to them directly or using the contact form on our website.

Q: Does Fox Fire use AI music or AI-driven editing software?
No and Yes. Not yet anyway. While we see a major cost saving value in hosting Ai music we would only consider it IF we could have a physical synthetic humanoid that could perform its music live. Until then, all compositions, lyrics, and performances are created by real human artists. Furthermore, we use our own Ai system "Mavin" to scan submitted musical works for any possible Ai based influence or meddling, thus ensuring that the creative process behind our music is not influenced or driven by Ai machines. We have proudly turned down and caught multiple attempts to fool us into accepting Ai based music. With that said, we do use super advanced internal Ai tool to assist in the editing and mastering process. FLOCO Media is currently developing a proprietary Ai framework called Mavin, which helps our engineers achieve professional, Dolby-quality sound and do the work of a full sound engineering team on a very slim budget. Mavin is ONLY used to: Adjust pitch and tone: This technology allows our artists to explore new genres and vocal styles in a fraction of the time it would take through traditional methods. For example, Allie Cat, who naturally speaks and sings with a strong Korean accent, and Chase Bigbie, the Scottish-born lead singer of Neon Rebel, are both able to expand their vocal range and versatility through Mavin. By intelligently refining their vocal output—without altering the soul of their performance—Mavin removes accent-related limitations that would have made certain songs or genres difficult, if not impossible, to record. With Mavin, we're helping artists overcome barriers that once held them back, empowering them to fully express their talent and reach creative heights that were unimaginable just a year ago. Remove audio distortions: When we acquired the catalogs of Allie Cat Records and Monkey Paw Music, much of the original music—some dating back as far as 2012—was plagued by poor recording quality and heavy distortion. Many tracks were barely audible and far from commercially viable. Thanks to continuous research and development using our in-house Ai tool, Mavin, we've been able to fully remaster the entire legacy catalog, transforming those damaged recordings into high-fidelity, Dolby-quality audio. What was once unlistenable is now restored, refined, and ready for a new generation of listeners. Assist with voice acting: (Halloween horror-rock tribute music ONLY) For example, artists like Allie Cat and bands such as Neon Rebel can use Mavin to match the vocal tone or pattern of their intended horror villain—creating a fully original but eerily familiar vocal aesthetic. This allows our artists to immerse listeners deeper into the sonic world of their characters without ever copying or cloning existing voices. Duplicate or enhance instrumentals: Cost saving measure. Apply advanced audio effects: Cost saving measure. Streamline editing workflows: Cost saving measure. Thanks to Mavin, we can reduce the need for massive production teams—delivering top-tier sound with a lean, primarily intern based high-efficiency studio crew.

Q: How Does the Remastering Process Work?
Following the acquisition of Allie Cat Records and Monkey Paw Music, Fox Fire Records (formerly FLOCO Music) launched a multi-phase initiative to restore and elevate the quality of its inherited catalog. A major part of the $1 acquisition deal was a personal commitment from FLOCO CEO Monty Floyd: to not only ensure the music would finally be released across all platforms, but to fully restore the audio quality of each track. Phase One focused on preparing basic remasters for branded artist YouTube Music channels. Phase Two took things further—elevating these tracks to near-Dolby quality for distribution on Spotify, Amazon Music, iTunes, and more. Now in Phase Three (2025–2027), Fox Fire is completing a Dolby Atmos remastering initiative, pushing our catalog to the highest modern standard. Even with the combined skills of our talented interns and our in-house AI system, Mavin, some tracks were too damaged or flawed due to pre-Fox Fire recording issues from the Allie Cat Records or Monkey Paw Music eras. As a result, a number of songs have either been pulled from earlier releases or re-recorded entirely. While this has led to understandable fan pushback, we want listeners to know that all decisions regarding track removal or re-recording are made in full collaboration with the artists themselves. To honor fan feedback and preserve the legacy of the original material, Fox Fire has begun working with our active bands to release original but fully remastered versions of certain tracks through upcoming live concert performances and special compilation albums—bringing the past forward while ensuring quality and authenticity.
Q: What is the 2024 "Warrior Worship" Censorship Scandal?
In the fall of 2024, Warrior Worship (now known as Acre) released their debut album Defense Thy Faith through a UK-based distribution company. The album quickly climbed into the Top 10 Christian Metal charts, with three standout tracks—including "Rainbow Crusade" and "Rise Up"—garnering award nominations for their bold and unflinching message. Just three weeks post-release, however, the album was abruptly pulled. The UK distributor cited concerns that the album violated UK, Canadian, and EU “hate speech” laws, claiming the band’s overtly Christian and non-diverse themes were incompatible with international content policies. FLOCO Music (now Fox Fire Records) was told the album could not be reissued unless “Rainbow Crusade” and “Rise Up” were removed or significantly altered. Despite efforts by FLOCO CEO Monty Floyd and legal advisors to resolve the issue, negotiations collapsed as the distributor insisted on applying foreign censorship laws to an American label and Idaho-based band. After severing ties, FLOCO turned to a competing UK distributor—only for the same censorship to repeat within two weeks. In a retaliatory move, both UK-based distributors coordinated a takedown of the entire FLOCO Music catalog, removing Allie Cat, Neon Rebel, Harper Cassidy, and Eerie Effects (now Wicked Whispers) from all platforms. Most notably, they timed the removal of Eerie Effects’ Halloween catalog for the week of Halloween, a deliberate act of economic sabotage. FLOCO promptly secured a U.S.-based distribution partner who respected creative freedom and U.S. constitutional protections. Defense Thy Faith is now available worldwide in its original, uncensored form. Despite these attempts at silencing the band, Acre’s music continues to be widely supported by fans in the UK, who have rallied behind their message and continue to stream, share, and celebrate their work across underground and independent platforms.

No. Fox Fire Records does not censor our artists—period.

The Benedictine tradition emphasizes truth, courage, and intellectual honesty, principles that naturally align with the defense of free expression. We believe that conscience and conviction should never be silenced by politics, ideology, or public pressure. We will not tolerate any attempts by platforms, governments, advocacy groups, or individuals to censor, harass, intimidate, or dox our artists, staff, or fans. Artistic freedom is not only protected under U.S. law—it is sacred to who we are.
