about

Well here we are, the end of our ’12 albums in 12 months’ project. We had no idea what we were letting ourselves in for back at the start of January this year. We haven’t changed the world, we haven’t changed the direction of any music genre, we haven’t changed much as people..….but we have had the finest year of our lives where making tonnes of music and meeting some amazing people is concerned.

12 months ago this wasn’t a band, it wasn’t planned, it didn’t have any sense of direction or identity. It was just those chaps from Fuzz and The Felts doing something in lockdown. Around 50 weeks later and we’ve created a very tiny beast that we are immensely proud of.

Spotify numbers are cool, Bandcamp purchases are nice, having a track played win Australian radio makes us smile but what we’ve loved the most is a two way sharing process with other people. Whether that was through the podcasts with DJs, musicians, producers or just sharing a few songs with a brand new person from the other side of the world and exchanging the words “yeahhh, love it!”.

We know we won’t be selling tonnes of albums, come close to selling out gigs or putting a post about getting into the National Charts but for as long as we get the fuzzy buzz from doing this and some other people get that from us we have no plans to stop.

The ideas and projects will no doubt change, maybe no more 12 albums in 12 months, but we want to learn new ways of doing things, recording ideas, artwork, technology, communicating with people….plenty to keep us busy.

We love songwriting, we love recording and we love sharing.

Thankyou to everyone who has listened, played, purchased, stolen, enjoyed, commented, disliked, laughed at, laughed with, hugged, collaborated, reached out and just been a thoroughly nice person.

Album 12 is called Happy because despite the complexities in life and the weird and wonderful things we do to create our identities and a sense of belonging I think it’s fairly accurate to say all we ever really want…..is to be happy.

Lots love

Simon, Stephen and Lewis
