Press Reviews
Fuse have been darting in and out of the Bucks
music scene for the past year or so, displaying
an original brand of traditional Brit-rock to
local music lovers.
When I caught up with the band and asked them
about music, gigging and the South of France.
Russell Leak, lead guitarist and the band's front
man, explains: "This year we'll be promoting our
new single, 'Can I', from our album Goodweird."
The single sounds great- which is not surprising
considering it's been produced by Andy Withmore,
whose past triumphs have included work with
Terence Trent D'arby and Louise.
Of course, it's not much good having a single
unless you've got a plan in place to get it out
there and promote it, but Fuse have a plan for
that as well: "We're going to Cannes in the South
of France and shopping for a music deal at the
Midem Festival. It's kind of an all industry music exhibition. All the live promoters, record companies and small label people will be there. Hopefully we'll find something that is going to suit us."
If their track record is anything to go by,
self-promotion will not be a problem for these
guys. A hectic schedule has seen them rocking the
White Horse as well as maintaining a high profile
gigging at most of the capital's top venues.
"We really enjoy playing small venues like
London's Kashmir Club. It's a great little
venue and the audience are really responsive.
It's nice and intimate. We've played venues
like the Astoria, of course, but you get a
better atmosphere at smaller places like the
White Horse and the Kashmir Club."
In keeping with many of the new Brit-rock
bands, Fuse have their own distinct style
which is a far cry from that of safe American
Rock bands like Slipknot and Linkin Park.
He said: "It's got to a stage where most of
them are second rate Rage against the Machine
clones. I think we have an original sound.
We've got an original sound with influences
from the Foo Fighters to Abba.
"Record companies always want to play it safe,
and who blames them -it's their money -but I
think it's important for people to be original."
Fuse are playing the White Horse, West Wycombe
Road, High Wycombe on Saturday February 9.
