The Fuzz Drivers – S/T (2013)

the Fuzz DriversRock and Roll will never die!  That is what I think when I hear a band like The Fuzz Drivers for the first time. Classic rock has inspired bands all over the globe, and The Fuzz Drivers are dishing out the best 70’s style rock and roll I have ever heard from Portugal.

The first time I listened to “Discordia Song”, I knew I was going to enjoy The Fuzz Drivers’ album, but what I didn’t realize is how much.  After my first couple of listens, I detected a lot of Zeppelin and Beatles influences in the music, and that is a good thing.  Sérgio dishes out some mad riffs on “Discordia Song”, and Marcelo Viero pushes his vocals to the limit.

“Shine” is possibly my favorite track on the album.  This powerful number is driven by the Bonham-esque drums of Duarte Carvalho. This heavy tune gets better with every listen.

When I listen to the song “Carved Time”, songs like “Dear Prudence” and “Over the Hills And Far Away” come to mind. Sergio’s guitar tone falls somewhere between those two songs, and I love it!  If there was ever a more radio friendly song, “Carved Time” is the one that is worthy of a lot of radio airplay.

“Mama Told You” has an infectious little riff that makes this one incredibly catchy tune. I like this one a lot.

For a self produced and recorded album, the sound quality on this album is top notch. The band did an outstanding job putting this together.  Even though the album is a little on the short side, it is a solid debut for The Fuzz Drivers. With music this good, I think the band has the potential to get some global recognition.

    As a follow-up to my previous comment, when I got home from work today, I checked my email, and was pleasantly surprised to find a message from Marcelo of the Fuzz drivers, apologizing for the problem I had, and helping me to download the album. That was a very nice, and classy thing to do. Now off to crank up the album.

    I went to the site, entered my real name, real email address and real location to get the free download. After clicking the button, a message said “here’s your download link”, but no such link was displayed. Oh well. Guess they’ve got my info now, but I don’t have the album.
