Phillip Roebuck : Fever Pitch
Log in to add to your wishlist
Virginia-born, New York-bred singer/songwriter and bare bones one man band. Using a classic depression-era type drum apparatus and a ragged-but-right banjo style, Fever Pitch is steeped in roots but undeniably fueled by rock.

Album Notes

Recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, Chicago
Mastered by Nick Webb at Abbey Road Studios, London
All Tracks performed live by Phillip Roebuck

"He plucks that banjo like a madman, like the devil himself." -New York Press

"Whirling one-man banjo ninja is in fighting form." -Europe Intelligence Wire

"There's no niche or category to file this under. It's just simply amazing." -Autopia

"Fever Pitch is the only album you need this year." -Scene Point Blank

"A stone-cold classic performer that blasts all other singer-songwriters out of their soporific, arrogant, self-obsessed torpor with his pinpoint melodies, frantic enthusiasm and homespun, heartfelt wordplay, one-man-band Roebuck's lightning fast banjo (dude can shred quicker than Kerry King man!) and incessant hotstepping to the beat really will get your juices flowing. Aided by yet another pristinely sparse Steve Albini recording that just lets Roebuck do what he does best, live, in the flesh, no airs or graces, just pure musicianship in action, and my god is it catchy!" -CollectiveZine

"He is both a delightful oddity and the purest kind of genius." -Steve Albini
