FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - The Book Of Fuzz (Selected Verses Part 1) 2022

It's fuzz time again and you know which band is known for that?.... That's right: Ford's Fuzz Inferno from Kekerdom and the last two years they released three splendid EP's and this little compilation is made for those who prefer a little round silvery packaging, and an unreleased song is added to the three singles and in total we have eleven songs which achieved maximum results with only drums, guitar and reverberant vocals, very classy. Hans & Patrick do a first class job and are by far the best duo I know and their wild and unbridled sound is pretty damn appealing and makes me think of old times as I savage to Septic Death or Raw Power etc... Pogo danced and this feeling puts a smile and a little melancholy on my face, it's been a long time and getting old physically really sucks, and I think, you know that as well. And there's news to announce: In January 2023 their new EP Death To The Fuzz Family will be released with five more fuzzed-out Punk executions and the vinyl rip will follow as soon as I can rip again and it's my turn to change that, but at the moment I'm still a bit off the mark. Patience dear friends.. patience!

And as usual, I want to give you a short and appropriate review (and there are only positive ones, which doesn't surprise me): "Walls of garage-damaged, blasted combo amp guitars topped with sweet in-your-face croons; these chaps serve up hit after should-be hit. They don’t rely on the heaviness, but they get there because they just want to crank the shit out of those guitars, you know…to fuzz ‘em up." (Robert Collins, MRR #467 • April 2022)

And what the two say about this bloody Sucker can you read now and even if a download is available here, buy this CD and support the band because they deserve it: "Hi Boys & Girls! A while ago Mr. Hans & Mr. Patrick found out some of you don't own a record player and don't care very much for them digital download things either. But still, you do need to hear - and feel - Ford's Fuzz Inferno's crushing fuzz punk awesomeness blasting through your rooms, don't youi?!. Each and every day that is! Well, there's no need to be sad, because Mr. Hans and Mr. Patrick love you just as much as they love all their other young friends. That's why they selected 11 tracks from their first four EP's and released them on Ford's Fuzz Inferno's first CD! Especially for you! So buy that disc, enjoy the tunes, eat your vegetables, destroy the neighborhood and fuzz on!" I love FFI!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - War, Peace & Fuzz EP 2023

I'm a little behind with the latest 7Inch from Ford’s Fuzz Inferno but this is another story. Meanwhile there is a fantastic album (I immediately put it on my phone) which in my opinion tops the singles. I know, it's hard to believe because all the releases to date have been fucking brilliant, but visit them at their home base and have a listen and in August 2024 another orgasm will follow in form of a 12Inch. A few words from Hans and Patrick: ‘War, Peace & Fuzz’ offers five completely shredding tracks that combine the duo’s trademark fuzzed-out guitar attacks and hi-energy drumming with three and four part harmonies and a totally crushing production. Musically it’s melody and harmony versus brutal aggression and destruction. This is Ford’s Fuzz Inferno at its most cynical. This is Ford’s Fuzz Inferno at its very best! Fuck war and fuzz on! - Music that hits you mercilessly and is infectious in all its forms and exactly the sound that some people should subject themselves to, afterwards you will see things more clearly and this stuff works brilliantly everywhere.

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Death To The Fuzz Family EP 2023

I'm a little behind, because Ford's Fuzz Inferno already put their creative sound machine into operation in January and presented another chapter from the fuzz workshop in the tranquil village of Kekerdom, and as self-confessed flitzefozzi I can only say: "Uiuiuiui!". Five dynamic and also 'melodic' pieces conjured they out of a hat which show a clear progression and infuse any damn tired mind with positive energy. Yesterday I finally had time, muse and the technique to listen & rip their fourth 7Inch and I will not repeating myself, but Mister Hans & Mister Patrick know write impulsive music. The Ford's appear in all songs short, concise, precise and focused on maximum effect, which rarely exceed the two-minute limit and combine explosive songs, a good songwriting with driving sawtooth fuzzbeat in a pleasant way and the fifth book is already out. Superb!!!

"Death To The Fuzz Family will unquestionably appeal to all the fans of raw, melodic, energetic Punkrock that carries all the vital elements of Hardcore Punk, Post-Hardcore, Proto-Grunge, and Indie Rock." (THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION - 30th January, 2023)

A few band words: "Yes boys & girls, it's Ford's Fuzz Inferno's fourth EP of totally fuzzed-out Punkrock awesomeness. Featured are the (relatively mild) track 'My Reality', which was previously available on the Book Of Fuzz - Part 1 CD, plus four more scorchers. Fuzz on!"

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Flog Yourself With Fuzz EP 2022

Bridging the gap between distorted garage-punk and early '80s hardcore, the super explosive second EP by this fuzzed-uit Dutch guitar-and-drums duo is certainly one of the most impressive releases of 2022. "Hans & Patrick are back with hard hitting, hi-energy Punkrock, recorded specially for your hungry ears! This time around all the songs are about super enjoyable things, like the apocalypse, mental health issues and Mr. Hans’ and Mr. Patrick’s favourite pastime, demolishing other people’s property. Have you ever done that? It’s great fun. You should really give it a try! But before you start smashing windows and kicking dents into cars, play these four songs as loud as possible. They will put you in the exact right mood!" And that's right folks; on this record they are more melodic, more playful and more mid-tempo, but still catchy and with the typical fuzz sound. I really like it and I can highly recommend this band to you, Ford's Fuzz Inferno is playing PunkRock and doesn't just talk about it and deniers will be executed. Their third strike will follow in April and a compilation CD with all Fuzzies is also being planned, so keep your eyes, ears and brains wide open. Two reviews: "They have kept the quality, with another collection of fast, catchy, melodic hardcore songs. Just need two things from the guys now, A full length album and some live shows in the UK!" (Issue Punkzine #117)

"A release with short high energy tracks in the Ford’s Fuzz Inferno punk tradition: unpolished DIY noisy punk rock’n’roll. It comes with a good sound quality and again with a simple white and black medieval artwork. Too bad it's over before you know it." (Out Of Step - Fanzine/Blog February 2022)

Your weekend's nice & with this EP it will be even more sweeter, ask your partner!

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Fuzz The Universe! EP 2022

This is the last part of the 7Inch triology by Ford’s Fuzz Inferno, the Dutch duo who like to upset their neighbors and ours. This time it took a long time to rip the record due to various fatigue on my part and lack of time; but today, on the first day of July, I'm banging these four Fuzzies on your ears, and believe me, they let every deaf hear again. A few fuzzy words from the Inferno itself:

Hello boys & girls. A long time ago, when Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick were still very young, there was neither space nor time. There was nothing and it was pretty cool. Then Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick heard a big bang and suddenly there were suns and moons and stars flying around like crazy, with no sense of direction whatsoever. This is called the universe. The universe is extremely boring and badly organized. It has no value and no purpose. Fortunately Mr. Hans and Mr. Patrick live on planet earth, which is somewhere else. Planet earth rules, the universe sucks and aliens are stupid and ugly. That’s why Mr. Hans + Mr. Patrick decided to call their third EP Fuzz The Universe!. It makes perfect sense, doesn’t it?! Of course the songs are totally awesome, so play them as loud and often as possible! Fuzz On!

A Review: "The music here is really driven by the roaring guitar. It sets the pace for the rhythm section rather than vice versa. It’s big, static-y, and yes, “fuzzy.” The band injected a few trad Rock’N’Roll elements: notes running down the scale and the occasional tamborine. The medieval imagery on this release (and all their others) adds a fun, out of left-field vibe to the music. (Dov Malzberg, MRR #468 • May 2022) 

Well, finally a few own words: Mega!

The Book Of Fuzz - Selected Verses (Part 1) with all the EP’s + a bonus lullaby is as CD available. I really hope that wasn't the end of the journey and that the return from the universe will follow. We will see.

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Eternal Circles Of Fuzz EP 2023

Well dear Friends, let's come to the fifth chapter of the grandiose duo Ford's Fuzz Inferno and it's a strange beast in the Dutch ‘fuzztopian’ Punk discography and to be honest, I don't even know what to write here anymore. All of Mr. Hans & Mr. Patrick's releases are extraordinarily brilliant and the level is consistently high and their musical ability just won't diminish. Excellent FuzzPunkRock as it should be for Fuzzies and believe me, I really mean that. As soon as the first note sounds, my body vibrates and turns my basic mood into a positive network of cheerfulness and lust, not that I'm a negative person, but I'm a skeptic and like to question and Ford's fuzzy sound is a real door opener for every pissing situation, can you follow me? The two gents know exactly what they are doing and they do it with dedication and common sense, and I'm a bit late with this slab, because in May they've already added the sixth chapter, and also important to know, their label released the first Compilation (the Compulsive Agitation EP in an edition of 400 copies) but more to this in the near future. I won't quote a review here this time, look for it yourself and I recommend you to read all the other chapters of the Fuzz book and enjoy the sunny warm Sunday with it.

FORD'S FUZZ INFERNO - Deniers Of Fuzz Will Be Executed EP 2021

So dear folks, brand new stuff from the Waste environment and I already warned you that the follow-up band of Hans will record explosive material and today the wait is over and I can tell you: Simply Brilliant! A bit basics: "don't you just love these awesome punk tunes?! Then singalong with Mister Hans (vocals/guitars) and Mister Patrick (drums/guitars) and bang your fucking head to their lyrics, mostly about your stupid, hypocrite, pseudocorrect parents and all those other mindless consumers who have messed up our planet and now blame others. Fuck Them!" This is the announcement of Ford's Fuzz Inferno. They have recorded some totally awesome, completely fuzzed-up, ultra crushing punk nuggets for you and if any neighbor should complain, hit him on the skull with the plate. A review: “This is immediately catchy and likeable, proving you don’t have to reinvent the wheel to make something great. There is a timeless quality to these songs, and each concentrated capsule of punk joy sounds like it could have been written any time during the last fifty years. Highly recommended.” (MRR #461 - Oct. 2021) - I can hardly add anything to that, fantastic record from a combo that knows how to express itself brutally and implement this in an excellent sound. Fucking Great! B.T.W., a second EP will come soon, the release date is 17th January 2022, and you can already pre-order this via their bandcamp page. 🎶🎸🎶

V/A - Compulsive Agitation EP 2023

The tenth and latest release from dutch D.I.Y. Subunderground Compulsive Agitation’s, Compulsive Agitation, is an excellent EP Compilation featuring six songs from five bands, hailing from the Netherlands as well as the UK. Edition of 400 copies on black vinyl. Well, the label should be familiar to you as it is the home base of the talented school of fuzzpunk, or in short: Ford's Fuzz Inferno whose contribution has not yet been published. This also applies to the other songs (except for Waste). Nun, this little 7Inch is a real grenade with short loud impacts that absolutely smash me into the past when Hardcore became my driving force and I was flashed by the aggressive fast sound. And once infected, it stays in your heart and you know what's good for you. With Hans & Co. you know what you're getting and all ten records aren't late bloomers or lame copies of old heroes, NO! Honest straight pissed off Hardcore with appealing words rolling over you and rousing every lame ass to participate, and to that always an informative artwork. This litle goodies comes with an insert featuring alternative front cover designs and infos about the bands.

"Overall, 'Compulsive Agitation' is a fantastic EP release that showcases the strength and diversity of the old school Do It Yourself Punk scene. Each band brings its unique sound and style, creating a compilation full of energy and attitude." (THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION - 8th June, 2023)

Since the edition is very limited, it will be difficult to get hold of a copy, I have one and if you find one, grab it! Pushes anytime, especially with back pain.

WASTE - The Next Century Is Almost Over EP 2023

Holy Shit!! a legend is back after more than forty years with a fucking blast! In case you can't remember, WASTE released their one and only great History Repeats EP in the early 80's and now they're in the mood for loud & peppy music again. Their new 7Inch delivers four compositions in a recognizable Waste manner. Dynamic, energetic and with a pissed off feeling the boys bang out their songs so that no part of your body doesn't want to vibrate, and believe me, every shitty thought will wash away from you and you'll hear this slab over and over again. Responsible for these jaw dropping tracks is the incredibly tight rhythm section of bassist Still Klaus, drummer Fred Flintstone, the brutal voice of Bompa RR and the totally damaging fuzz guitar and songwriting skills of Hans F. Ford, who of course is also known from his outstanding current fuzz-duo Ford's Fuzz Inferno. The band hasn't lost any of its aggressiveness and joy of playing, the sound is fat and powerful (although I prefer the early Eighties sound but these recordings grab me by collar) and you can Pogo with every note, Hardcore/Punk at its best and you should definitely get a copy, but you have to be quick because only 375 copies were pressed. With Waste, the long weekend can start and whoever sits still while listen, is definitely dead. KILLER!

WASTE - The Lost Tapes EP 2021

Now to a damn hot record which I'm very happy to present to you, and which comes straight from the band's headquarters, sent by Mister Hans personally and exclusive for wdthtc! "Daar ben ik heel dankbaar voor en wil je eerst mijn hartelijke groeten, maat 💓" On this little slab are five fast fantastic uncompromising, unpolished killers who exude pure energy and I like them immediately after the first note, the level is consistently kept high and brings the emoitions of the early 80s into your four walls, I have seldom heard such great stuff from the neighboring country... and I mean it, folks! Tasty infos from the backcover: "These five tracks were recorded between the summers of 1981 and 1983 at the band's practice room, which was located in a monastary in Oudenbosch, a village in the south-west Netherlands. Waste consisted of Nonkel RR (vocals), Hans (guitars), Klaus (bass), Fred (drums). Back in the early 80s they played at venues all over the country, including Paradiso in Amsterdam. Their sought after History Repeats EP was released by the Breda-based Miranda label in December 1982. Now, almost forty years later, the band's modest discography gets expanded with this new EP of rare, archival material. The sound is primitive, raw and totally awesome! WARNING! This is truly scorching hardcore punk! So for your maximum listening pleasure, play this slab as loud as possible!" Limited to 300 copies and I guess, all already sold. Good news at the end, Hans and Patrick founded a new band called Ford’s Fuzz Inferno and they recorded some totally awesome, completely fuzzed-up, ultra crushing punk goodies and a new record Deniers Of Fuzz Will Be Executed E​​P was made and is available from June 30th via their bandcamp site. Enough with words, let the music into your house and let it rip at full volume and several times in a row.
