Album Notes

"Bringing Live Music Back to the Forefront of Urban Culture"

If there were any justice in this world, the definition of music in its rawest form would be a picture with a simple caption that reads: The Fuzz Band.

This eight-member indie band under the Peach Fuzz Entertainment label was birthed in the halls of the prestigious Hampton University, back in 1997. Whether Hip-Hop, R&B, Soul, Funk, Rock, Alternative, Jazz, or Classical, The Fuzz Band can do it; and not just do it, but excel with the unparalleled passion for perfection that drives them to succeed. They do it not just because they can, but because this diversity is who they are; pure unadulterated talent.

Dynamic, innovative, and energetic, The Fuzz Band has rocked sold-out crowds with Grammy-winning artists such as Alicia Keys, Outkast, Jill Scott, and were most recently featured guests on Lauryn Hill's first concert tour since her Miseducation LP altered the face of music in 1998. They have performed at private engagements for NBA star Allen Iverson, and NFL legend Bruce Smith. Here to give music a much needed facelift is The Fuzz Band.

The band, with members whose backgrounds are as diverse as the music they play, have planted their roots in Virginia; the state of music's best kept secrets. With endorsements from R.J. Reynolds and Budweiser, and as the international touring band for the United States Military, this secret has spread like an international wildfire garnering awards as "Best Live Band", "Best Hip-Hop/R&B Band", the Capital Jazz Festival's "Best New Contemporary Jazz Band", and "Best Rock Band". Featured in Blackbeat magazine as well as Virginia's own NineVolt, The Fuzz Band recently released "Collision"â€"the ground-breaking follow-up to their "Without Boundaries" debut.
