"End of All Time" - Fuzz Mutt, EP Review

The Washington 3-piece are at it again with the brand new EP, "End of All Time". The band who have been together since December 2015 are now all 18 and have begun to pursue music in a much more serious way than before.

"End of All Time" exudes flavours which is reminiscent to that of the grunge scene during the 90s. Fuzz Mutt are doing what is all too often not done: they are bringing together a heavy percussive sound with deeply melodic guitar parts as well as using meaningful lyrics. 

The band have recognised how useful social media is with regard to keeping in touch with other bands and, of course, fans. But what is clear from their work is that they are not falling into the trap of so-called 'selling out'. Fuzz Mutt's music is passionately spirited in an organic way which is incredibly rare to find. It seems that this band have found the perfect blend of all the factors to make something real which is entirely rich in wholehearted fervency without being pretentious in the slightest.

We, the listeners, are in luck because Fuzz Mutt's plans for the future are that they "just want to play a lot of shows and keep making music that [they] enjoy". The 3-piece are creating dynamic music which surpasses the quality of the vast majority of up-and-coming bands; and that is exactly what they are - up-and-coming, because this band are destined for very big things.

Rating: 8/10
