Review: The Fuzz – Best Kept Secret (Green Monkey Records, 2016) (Rock) (translated from German)
The Fuzz started in 2000 in Seattle, Washington, USA, and consists of: Rod Moody – solo guitar, Andy Hoggarth – vocals and lead guitar, Brad Jackman – bass guitar and Tom Hendrickson – drums.
Their debut album “Here Comes The Fuzz” already appeared soon after the formation of the band and it was in 2011, followed by “Fun Forest”, which is worth mentioning that both albums were recorded in the basement of their home.
the new album “Best Kept Secret” in Elliott Bay Recording Studio to Seattle and recorded by the Green Monkey Records released on October 16 2015. “Best Kept Secret” contains nine songs, including “I Can not Wait” and it is the first I hear the band play a nice swinging pop song that 60s beat contains influences and is followed by “Too Bad”, a delicious swinging 60s related uptempo beat song, then I “want” hear and containing the band plays another brilliant piece of rock that influenced the years, 60 music. then lock the strap me “Charley Horse” for a high-tempo pop song that light country rock contains influences (listen to this song over the soundcloud link below the review), to be followed by “Girl”, a swinging rock song, which contains some fine tempo. in “She Believes” the band dishes out like a fast rock song for, which is played at breakneck speed and takes a minute and “Locked Out” the Fuzz also plays a fantastic piece of rock at high speed, while in “loaded” a delightful swinging rock song to put get where rhythm & blues influences in sitting and singing me slightly reminiscent of Mick Jagger. the last song on the album is called “Call the Cops” and also let herein the band I enjoy swinging uptempo rock song, where inaction is not an issue. “Best Kept Secret” is a nice swinging album by the Fuzz and I can therefore recommend every rock lover, to listen to this disc again, to perhaps reach the same conclusion as me.
