stuffy/the fuses are a four piece, hailing from the music spewing hyperbole
of London Town. It's to their credit that this swamped locality only serves
to emphasise the individuality that makes them so refreshing. They are
singled out from the mounting legions of Kooks-esque, digestible, music by
numbers bands currently chomping their way through the capital by their
joyous, unforgettable live show. These frenzied displays of rock and roll
spirit are perfectly reflected on their energy drenched debut album, Join
Me
Or Die. In particular stand out single "Where's The Captain?" which
combines
the unfathomable rock majesty of The Pixies with the youthful exuberance of
Supergrass to stunning effect, shows The Fuses at their irrepressible best.

gravity defying leaps, oozes bashful charisma and anti-hero charm that is
instantly enticing and endearing. Dismissing the fact he is both drummer and
a singer as wanton quirkiness would be a terrible error of judgement as he
more than rises to the challenge of filling both roles in a way far superior

special band.
In short, stuffy/the fuses are an delight, brimming with personality and a
equipped with the knack of creating mini indie epics. Their strong ethos of
fun and rampant, vivacious energy makes them a force to be reckoned with and
impossible to ignore. Resistance is futile, join them or die!
