Fanzine // Tough

We've been anticipating Fanzine's debut record since, well, April Fool's Day, when they made an appearance as our local favourites. It seems the time is nigh.  

Tough maintains the 90s slacker influences of earlier tracks such as Susan or Roman Holiday, but perhaps with additional fine tuning and a sprinkling of west coast pop a la Girls. Check out the video and a couple of earlier tracks below, while you can catch the band at a few London dates before Christmas.

Dec 15th - TLOBF's Ones to Watch, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen, w/ Niki & the Dove, Outfit, Theme Park and Amusement
Dec 22nd - Vice Issue Launch Party, Old Blue Last, w/ Gross Magic and Yoofs

Local favourites // Fanzine

Fanzine have not been gigging long, but what they have done has been of the highest calibre of bill. London shows with Spectrals, Cymbals Eat Guitars and French Kissing have helped draw a deserved amount of attention to a band with a discerning collective ear for a melody.

While heavily influenced by late 80s / early 90s American indie, there's a gleaming poppiness to the vocals on early track Susan, which draws on Pacific coast surf and, somehow, Pink Floyd, while Run is akin to a sprawling, Smashing Pumpkins re-edit of Graham Coxon. With the band currently recording new material, there should be much, much more to enjoy from Fanzine this year.
