Fuji Heavy

About Me

"Fuck me this is a corker. Single of the missive your search for the years sleaziest groovers ends right here." - Losing Today
Fuji Heavy is a project whose sole purpose is to bring the fun and swagger back into rock.
Having formed in 2004, they proceeded to cut a 3 song demo which was sent out and received many acclocades from press and radio in Brighton and the UK.
"***Newsflash*** South coast rock-freaks Fuji Heavy are my new favourite band. Let Fuji Heavy into your world today, you need them." - Leeds Music Scene
On the back of their efforts, Fuji Heavy have been featured live on Juice FM during Brighton live, as well as featured on BBC Southern Counties with Phil Jackson during 2005. The peak came when they were offered the support slot for the legendary Pere Ubu.
"Great Fucking Single. Taut, wired, zombie droning, with streaming riffs of noise hung on pop hooks and infectious choruses that hammer each track to a close." - The Source, Brighton
Hoping to build on 2005, 2006 promises to be a big year for the Fuj as they release their upcoming EP, The Revenge of Fuji Heavy in March. Be on the lookout for them in a city near you....
"Fuji Heavy are something a little bit special, and whilst the other bands fight to all sound alike, it's a breath of the fresh stuff that Bob, Andy, Ali, Bryn and Alex have the sense, the brains and the talent to do what they truly believe in" - RoomThirteen.com
"These songs are supercharged, but unlike many wannabe garage rockers Fuji Heavy manage to draw clean distinctions between their great songs, each being distinct and unique. Overall, this is a great demo, and if youve ever been into the Pixies or garage rock, youll feel right at home getting into Fuji Heavy." - Joyzine
