Garage punk THE ATTYCS debut EP "Drama Tape I"

Fuzzy hardly ever writes an unsolicited album review. I can barely keep up with all the requests I receive, so the music needs to really grab me before I will head over to the keyboard and start pecking away with my thoughts. I've got a lot of time on my hands, as our self-imposed 3-week self-exile of social distancing has just started. Hopefully the booze doesn't run out and everyone stays virus-free. The band that got me off my big green ass is THE ATTYCS with their debut EP "Drama Tape I" that is over-charged with raw energy and destructive potential. Check it out:

There are so many sounds on here that I dig. The raw power of a garage trio in "I Want to Fuck." Edgy punk vocals throughout. Heaps of fuzz ("You Suck"). Psychedelic guitar solos ("Friends"). Rockabilly riffs and surf tones ("Coming Through"). Naughty words. This album has it all if you love punk rock. The fact that these dudes are from Switzerland just adds to the insanity.


The Attycs are from Switzerland with members:

• Sandro Gugger: Drums
• Colin Steenbergen: Bass
• Tim Hensel: Fuzz

From the band (via Google Translate):

An indecent, much too loud boy band with dildos throwing around, which is usually wet and chaotic. Nevertheless, or precisely because of this, they manage to animate people from embarrassed shaking their heads to nodding their heads to wild dancing in their energetic live shows. Tinitus and stiff neck guaranteed.

Date Animals by Lesbian Wallet

LESBIAN WALLET's new album DATE ANIMALS combines the energy and raw guitar work of punk with the heavy fuzz of stoner. This is likely to be one of the most original albums you will hear all year. Besides the fuzz, another thing that sets Lesbian Wallet apart from a pure punk sound is the length of some of the tracks. "Margherita Hack" gets itself right into stoner territory with its length and heavy sound. And the 3-track set at end? Like I said, this is stoner punk. Right on!


Lesbian Wallet is a stoner punk trio from the midlands of Italy. (Down the road from Kavod, in fact.) The band is Francesco Bordoni (Guitar / Vocals), Francesco Mastellone (Bass), and Simone Romagnoli (Drums).


In their own words:

We play a vicious and occasionally experimental brand of rock with stoner, punk and hardcore elements. Our music draws from a variety of influences (Melvins, The Jesus Lizard, Kyuss, Mclusky to name a few), and since our debut 2016 EP “Elk” it has managed to morph into its own raw, nasty thing.

Don't miss Lesbian Wallet's music video for "Date Animals" on YouTube. It was one of the most popular videos in the 1st Annual Fuzzy Film Festival we held a few weeks ago on IGTV so check it out:
