Foxes and Fossils is an American cover band led by Atlanta-based musician Tim Purcell. Their name refers to their multi-generation makeup of younger ladies and older men. The group has gained attention for its video covers on YouTube, with 90,000 subscribers and nearly 40 million views, most of those since 2019.

History
The group formed in early 2010 as a side project of Tim Purcell's established cover band, The Mustangs, which performed at community and corporate events in the Atlanta area for many years prior. Together with daughter Samantha, then 15, and a friend from their church choir, Margaret (Maggie) Adams, then 16, Tim added fellow Mustangs musicians Darwin Conort and Scott King, and performed one concert in their hometown of Smyrna, an Atlanta suburb. Fellow Mustangs John Pike and Toby Ruckert replaced Conort from 2011 to 2016. Chase Truran joined in 2015.

Between 2010 and 2017, the group performed summer concerts in the Atlanta area. The group took a hiatus in 2018, then in response to their growing fan base on YouTube, began creating videos in Tim's basement studio, with all eight members.
