Psychedelic free folk/jazz/rock merchants formed in Bristol 2002, featuring the lysergic sounds of double bass, sax n' flute, sitar, electric noise, super-fuzz, northumbrian bagpipes and vocals straight out of 1969 era Fairport. The band follow in a linage of psychedelic English bands, like Gong, Man, Hawkwind and Soft Machine even. The work of Fuzz Against Junk has included the techniques of collective improvisation. The tapestry of their music can at first be confusing, for it is the aural equivalent of a constantly agitated kaleidoscope be each instrument freaking-out in ever new ways.
When this original series first came to town, it boasted a breath of fresh air amidst a tiring tide of 60s garage punk leftovers. Lovingly compiled, long-gone 45s tell of innocent, adolescent ambitions while laying the foundations for something much bigger. The blueprint for punk rock, metal, indie pop and grunge lay here. Adolescent angst, juvenile fun; call it what you like, but teenage kicks don t get better than this!! Painstakingly restored from long forgotten original vinyl artefacts, this handsome edition of Fuzz, Flaykes and Shakes collects together all 7 original volumes, complimented by a 76-page perfect bound booklet crammed with background liners, rare photos and original memorabilia.
The world down under produced some of the most ferocious and provocative sounds to have emerged from the 1960s. Crammed full of fuzz, distortion, feedback, phasing, and wild dementia, this uncompromising sound was the precursor to punk rock. Buried Alive!! conjures up a superb collection of rampant amphetamine fury, jammed tight with the most vile and repulsive '60s delinquency ever put together. This six-disc anthology culls together 150 long lost sounds of toxic, teenage rebellion from Australasia. Professionally re-mastered original sound; includes previously unreleased recordings. Buried Alive!!
For a Few Fuzz Guitars More is the sequel to A Fistful of Fuzz and like the first volume, features plenty of fuzz guitar. The feel of this collection is garagier (if that's a word) than A Fistful of Fuzz, but both volumes draw primarily from the late 1960s…
One of his best releases. I have been trying to introduce friends to Davie Allan recently and find myself choosing a lot of material off of this record in my pursuit to create fans. In the red guitars and rocking bass and drums will energize all real music fans! Great riffs and melodies and some cool weirder stuff and zero vocals! Why this guy isn't more well known is another great mystery in life. Buy with confidence!
DJs like Gilles Petersen have been hip to the seven-piece wonder band Demon Fuzz for years, and as of the 21st century - now that everybody's put away their James Brown records for sampling - other club jocks are getting into the act of sampling this incredibly rare LP. Afreaka! was the only release by Demon Fuzz. Released in 1970, Afreaka! is a wild mash of Afro-Latin funk, breakbeats, tripped-out soul, jazz fusion, and psychedelic journeying. These seven black musicians took on everything that was happening, and were musicians enough to make it work for them. Most tracks run in the eight- and nine-minute range and get down with tough drums at the core, with rhythmic shifts happening on a grooved dime…
