Band of the Week 7 - A-Fuzz
We're all about showcasing the incredible variety that is Korean indie, and this week is no exception! Today we bring you the incredibly talented, extremely unique, jazz-fusion, funk-infused, vocals-not-required quartet, A-FUZZ! As with all of our early weeks' bands, A-Fuzz is based in Seoul, Korea and has amassed an impressive following in their, relatively speaking, young careers.
There's a whole lot to say about this band, but we'll start it off with the video below (audio: Highway Star) and the exciting fact that they have a brand new EP titled The Four Seasons just released this month for your listening pleasure!
Get ready for lots of Fuzziness with A-Fuzz to follow!
Album Story
The beauty of independent music is that it's pure, honest, free expression, free of outsiders telling us what's good and what isn't. To keep it that way, we've GOT to support these artists! So, every week, we give you a special highlight of our BOTW albums so you can choose at least one, but ideally many, new records to buy 😬 Show your love and support of indie music today!
We'll give you our usual run-down, but for this band, we highly encourage you to just head over to iTunes (no iPhone or Mac required) and buy their brand new EP - The Four Seasons! Now! Here!
