Artist History Pezz formed in 1989, released two singles and their first full-length on their own Truant Records between ‘92 and ‘95 and recorded a split LP with Canada's 2 Line Filler for NYC's Bittersweet Records in ‘96 before signing to BYO Records in ‘97. One Last Look was recorded at Westbeach Recorders in Hollywood summer ‘97 with producer Steve Kravac and marked Pezz's BYO debut. Received well in the press, the album also enjoyed a good bit of air play on college radio. After three national tours in support of One Last Look on their own, two shorter stints with the Bouncing Souls and 7 Seconds, Pezz went to Chicago's Electrical Audio in March ‘99 to record a new record with engineer Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Jawbreaker, Pixies).Released in early summer ‘99, Pezz's sophomore release for BYO, Warmth and Sincerity, was supported by a three-month summer tour of the U.S. and Canada where the band toured with Hot Water Music, At the Drive-In, Elliot, Discount and Canadian friends D.B.S. The band took time out last fall to record for a Tennessee anti-death penalty organization's benefit record, before hitting the road again in early October for another seven-week US/Canadian tour.In 2000 Pezz has gone on two regional mini-tours; first covering the east coast and Midwest with Muchacha and most recently out west and back with Wesley Willis. Currently the band has taken a break from writing songs for its next album to tour the US with the UK's legendary Leatherface as well as Hot Water Music and Samiam.Pezz draws frequent inspiration from the likes of: Husker Du, Jawbreaker, Social Distortion, Sugar, Superchunk, Crimpshrine, Fugazi, Marginal Man, Articles of Faith, Naked Raygun and of course the Bad Brains.
