Leeds upstarts Fuzz Lightyear just dropped their brand new ‘Zero Guilt’ EP today, November 21st, via Nice Swan Records! The band teamed up with esteemed producer Alex Greaves for this extended release, which arrives hot on the heels of their acclaimed festival slot at Left Of The The Dial last month. ‘Zero Guilt’ captures Fuzz Lightyear at their core, distilling their chaotic and impressive blend of shoegaze, industrial noise rock, and fast paced punk into one thrilling package.
The EP is a truly exciting milestone for the quartet, who have been building a fierce, cult following across the UK thanks to their intense DIY ethos and utterly thrilling live shows. Frontman Ben Parry describes ‘Zero Guilt’ as a bit of a time capsule for the band, representing the songs in their rawest form and marking a last hurrah as a true guitar band. He explains the EP’s sound reflects the caution and paranoia of the post lockdown months when the band was incubated together, saying they pulled inspiration from an internal place and looked mostly to each other for writing ideas. They have already racked up mammoth support from the press landscape and have been spun on BBC 6 Music and Radio X, proving their blend of high octane noise is resonating far and wide.
Armed with their uncompromising sound, which is reminiscent of the brutal energy of Sonic Youth and Show Me The Body, Fuzz Lightyear is now gearing up to take their exhilarating performance on a debut UK headline tour this December. You can find the raw energy of their lead singles “Aberfan,” “Sit Awake,” and “Berlin, 1885,” alongside the new focus track “Christ Alive” on the EP. Make sure to catch these shows!
