Ford's Fuzz Inferno
Eternal Circles Of Fuzz E.p.
The 'Eternal Circles Of Fuzz' EP is a strange beast in the Dutch 'fuzztopian' punk duo's discography. Nevertheless, the super catchy kick-off song, 'No Signal', is pretty much in FFI's trademark style. But from then on things take an unexpected turn. Cos in the following three tracks Mr. Hans and Mr. Patrick transport their garage-punk and early '80s hardcore roots to the early post-Altamont era, where it became clear that a world of love and peace was an illusion, friendly hippies got replaced by bad ass motorcycle gangs, and colourful lsd-trips turned into heroin fueled misery. Musically this means a grim and awe inspiring mix of the duo's usual approach and early '70s proto-punk at its most dangerous. These tracks pretty much sound like they were culled from a killer, semi-psychedelic score for an imaginary 1970 low budget exploitation biker movie. Stoner-punk? Who knows... Just check it out and you'll agree: FFI's fifth 7-inch EP offers eight unique and ultra imaginative minutes of truly stunning, melodic punk and fuzz rock splendour! Oh, and there's one more thing you should know: no dogs got injured during the recording of 'Fuzz Dogs'. (Though one or two of them mean mongrels may have been killed!) SIDE 1: 1. No Signal 2.
