You can say that rock originated with the invention of the fuzz pedal. This effect, which allows you to extremely distort instruments, especially guitars, has remained the staple of garage rock to metal today. The Californian trio Fuzz named themselves after it, unequivocally revealing what they have to offer. Fuzz is one of the many bands of garage rock celebrity Ty Segall. He plays drums and sings
… while bassist Chad Ubovich and guitarist Charles Moothart let their fuzz pedals roar on turbo mode. If that doesn't sound thick enough, a deep growling synthesizer is used. The musical influences range from Hawkwind to Blue Cheer and especially early Black Sabbath. The latter in particular because Segall's light vocals are reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne's. It is not original, but the fun and energy splash from this exercise in fuzz. (MR)more
