The Fizzies

the 8th best band in America (we moved up!)

About Me

To put it simply, the Fizzies are pretty much awesome. To expand upon that, the Fizzies- an LA-based band proud to represent East Hollywood- have one-upped the resurgence of jellies, tights, and legwarmers by channeling some 80’s icons like the Cars and the Talking Heads into a new musical style with its own poppy effervescence. The new album, “Contest Popularity”, has tracks that range from 4-on-the-floor dance (the catchy, hip beats of “High”) to lo-fi fuzz (“Smack Davis”) to “In a House”, whose hooks are so catchy you’ll have to stop yourself from hitting the back button at song’s end so you don’t miss gems like the closer, “Garbage Generation”, that’ll leave you salivating for more, just like any good candy should.“Contest Popularity” has just turned up as CD of the day on the Absolute Powerpop Blog and the album is moving steadily on CDBaby.com.
