The split 7" EP from Sierra Vista, Arizona-based FUZZ EVIL and Southern California's CHIEFS
is out today via Battleground Records, and in turn, trusted underground
rock go-to joint, The Obelisk, is streaming the entire short but
intoxicating platter right now.
Comprised
of Wayne and Joey Rudell of Powered Wig Machine on vocals/guitar and
vocals/bass, respectively, and drummer Marlin Tuttle, the A-Side's FUZZ EVIL
delivers a nearly five-and-a-half minute, solid, groove-laden, heavy
psych rock track, "Glitterbones," The Obelisk partially offering that
the track delivers, "a swagger and hook reminiscent of early Queens of
the Stone Age, played up with some falsetto vocals, and true to their
name, some vicious fuzz." On the B-Side, the five-and-a-half minute jam
of CHIEFS' fiery "Stone Bull" lets loose. With this recording
created by Paul Valle on vocals/guitar and Stephen Varns on drums, the
band delivers prime, hard-hitting desert rock, The Obelisk Taskmaster
noting that the band begins the track, "with slower riffery but open up
to a chugging verse and well-placed clean vocals buried Goatsnake-style
under the mountainous tone..."
Limited to three hundred copies, the heavy, white-splattered grey vinyl is cut at 45 RPM for devastating delivery, with the FUZZ EVIL side featuring artwork by the band's Joey Rudell, and the art for CHIEFS handled by David Paul Seymour. Place orders HERE.
