Forming four years after their fellow New Yorkers The Fleshtones, The Fuzztones’ take on Sixties punk is fundamental to the point of religious fanaticism, with bad trip condensed vocals, paranoid analogue organ sounds, and loping slide guitar.
If The Fleshtones sound like they’d buy you a beer, The Fuzztones would spike your drink with something nasty.
Fifty-nine year old frontman Rudi Protrudi makes a virtue of his increasingly inappropriate obsessions on the psych-blues of Old, confessing “I’m old, old and dirty. If I can’t cut the mustard, baby, I can always lick the lid!”, which somehow absolves the entire album, and focuses you on its considerable, if lurid, charms.
