The Velvet Tuxedo “Buzz The Scuzz” On New Single

Hull, UK’s The Velvet Tuxedo return with their blistering new single Buzz The Scuzz, the track is a furious garage psych rallying cry about dropping out of the system and rejecting the 9-to-5 brainwash machine. The track opens with an eastern tambura drone and a swirling reversed-guitar line that builds a tense psychedelic mood before the full riff kicks in, tearing through the speakers with pounding drums, snarling vocals, and a valve driven riff made to ignite a riot. Buzz The Scuzz is a made-up phrase symbolising the band’s ethos: fuck the plan, ditch the script, dig the fuzz, and follow your own road. Buzz The Scuzz channels the wild electricity of The Who, the proto-punk bite of MC5, and the acid-drenched swirl of The Seeds, The Pretty Things, and 13th Floor Elevators and drags it kicking and screaming into present day. 

“This is our drop-out anthem, two fingers up to conformity. It starts with that hypnotic drone and then erupts into something driving and defiant. It’s about breaking free from the conveyor-belt life we’re sold and choosing your own path really.” (frontman Will Reid)
