Fuck The Fitzroy Doom Scene
Facing The Ruin
Independent Release
Release Date: Out Now
Review by Kevin Prested
Fuck The Fitzroy Doom Scene are only a couple years old, but seem to be making their own mark in the local Melbourne rock scene with an at times formula approach influenced by the usual stoner and fuzz suspects.
The bands Facing The Ruin release is certainly competent enough and well executed, yet there is only so far any band can musically expand within the bands chosen and self described style. With that said there are some nice dynamics and interesting drum patterns on offer here, and some genuine sonic fire that prove there is possibly some greater things to come.
The band hit their peak when they drift into the more psychedelic moments such as the percussion led instrumental lead out of Blind Faith and the excellently crafted epic Facing The Ruin. Fuck The Fitzroy Doom Scene are very good, but could be great if they can shake off the stoner shackles that weigh down some moments throughout, as it is evident at times there is some real creativity at work.
If you’re a fan of the fuzz pedal and rock ‘n’ roll mayhem you will not be disappointed.
