Fuzz You!
Welcome to the thirty-first post in a weekly series on new Canadian music! This week it is power rock pop with a review of Sex With Strangers’ album ‘Behaviours’. We also have some bonus footage of Sex With Strangers from their show at The Media Club with The Never Surprise and Fine Times. Sex With [...]
Welcome to the thirtieth post in a weekly series on new Canadian music! This week it is classical harmonies folk pop with a review of Dear Suzy’s debut album ‘Die Hölle Orchestra’.
When I wrote that Efterklang were the nestors of the 2013 edition of Eurosonic, I hadn’t done enough googling on Italy’s alternative rock quartet A Toys Orchestra. They’ve been around since 1998, almost three years longer than Efterklang. A Toys Orchestra, like their fellow veterans from Denmark rely on reinforcement troops for their live shows. [...]
On Friday afternoon the hostess of a fine B&B in Groningen was surprised to find the three grown men that stayed there during Eurosonic on their beds chillin’ out to Mile Davis. Why weren’t they out there getting S,D or R? Well for starters, for the three men the opportunities to chill out are infinitely more [...]
On Eurosonic day two we learned that industry people enjoy taking the fast lane past al the regular wristband folk queuing to see the latest buzz-band, only to stand outside smoking and discussing unrelated stuff. It must be horrible if attending gigs has become a dreary routine aspect of your work and if the status [...]

We hope to hear more from these and new exciting artists in the future. As humble purveyors of the great–and the occasionally [...]
In 2010 we had a top 21, last year we had a top 26, so naturally this year’s is a top 29. We are getting really close, I mean really close to the final three. First we have a tie at seven, a single sixer and then another tie at four. 7. PS I Love [...]
No, no, no this is not the top 29 of best Canadian albums of the year. We resent that remark. The Dutch branch of the Fuzz really tried and tried to give the list a European flavor and the year started hopeful. Somehow most of those fine albums from the old country have been crushed underneath [...]
Tied at number 17, we have Canadians and Americans. No, these aren’t the standings for the world field hockey championships. This is still Indiefuzz’s countdown of the best records released in 2012 with numbers 17 to 14. T-17.
