Fuzzbubble "Cult Stars From Mars" "Demos, out-takes and rarities"3-CDs Bundle

Debut album produced by Mike Clink (Guns n' Roses), mixed by Jack Joseph Puig (Jellyfish, The Goo Goo Dolls, Green Day)

"The energetic pill at the beginning of the album called Bliss is enriched with the solo guitar of Eddie Kurdzel from the conceptual sympathizers, Redd Kross, the angelic background vocals of Suzanna Hoffs are all over the wonderful ballad Ordinary as well as on the imaginary White Album out-take When It Stops Raining (with a nice Harrisolo!) where she’s also joined by the moderndaze keyboard-wizzard Roger Manning.

When you add a couple of numbers with all the necessary power-pop attributes like Zero Superstar or the “revolverized” Big Time Nowhere and Real World as the “hey Jude”-finale, plus the supermegaultra hit (if we were in a more righteous world) Don’t Let It Get You Down, you get an album that surpasses all the standards!" - Popdiggers

Fuzzbubble - "Demos, out-takes and rarities” -
A collection of the earliest recordings, out-take tracks from the debut album, and various other singles and demos.

"Pick any track from this ample collection and it could be a radio-ready single. While on the whole less raucous than the fare on their debut (with guitars not polished to the same level of crunch), this collection gives an even better exposure to the skills of the individual band members and the melodic songwriting talents of Jim Bacchi. I defy you not to sing along. Fuzzbubble are a too well kept secret; one hopes Demos, Out-Takes and Rarities will change that.
Fans of Jellyfish, Cheap Trick, and Redd Kross take note. The kind of exciting melodic power pop you thought was gone still lives. Fuzzbubble gives you sixteen tracks as emphatic proof here — now please spread the word.” - Pop Matters

FUZZBUBBLE "CULT STARS FROM MARS CD

FUZZBUBBLE - “Cult Stars From Mars” blends all the great elements of powerpop, classic 70’s style rock, and…of course…
Beatle elements. Crunch, punch and an overabundance of catchy melodies, with the addition of some classic sounding keys,….
something the original Fuzzbubble sound didn’t really utilize,… give the album a nice sonic palette,
while still maintaining their penchant for hooky melodies and choruses.

While the 3 minute, super catchy powerpop template is the band’s bread and butter (“Funny Face”, “Dragonfly Pt II”) ,
they find themselves wandering outside that box into a bit more epic sound, on “The Window”,
as well as the title track, which goes deep into a classic glitter-era Bowie meets Wings vibe ….
There’s a lot going on style-wise, yet they still keep a cohesive sound to the album. Variety is a good thing, and there’s a good amount of it here.
The one things that never gets sacrificed is the catchiness….
After all, it’s all about the songs.
