Fuzz

Living up to their name, Fuzz take influence from heavy, caustic, fuzz pedal-worshiping '60s proto-metal and psychedelic acts like the Groundhogs, Jimi Hendrix, and Blue Cheer. Formed by Ty Segall and his sometimes-bandmember Charles Moothart, Fuzz's albums pursue a simultaneously stripped-down and overloaded sound that could have been released in 1972, especially on their Steve Albini-recorded, eardrum-pummeling record from 2020, III. While the individual members of the band stayed very busy with other projects, nothing much happened in the Fuzz camp until 2025 when the compliation album Fuzz's Fourth Dream was released by In the Red.
