Our Take

As I spun DEMON FUZZ's "Roots And Offshoots," I couldn't help but feel like I had stumbled upon a hidden gem in the world of funk and soul. This British band, known for their fusion of rock, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, takes listeners on a musical journey that is as exhilarating as it is groovy.

From the moment the needle dropped on the opening track, "Past Present and Future," I was transported to a world where the boundaries between genres blurred and creativity knew no limits. The infectious energy of "Mercy (Variation No. 1)" had me grooving in my seat, while the soulful vocals on "Another Country" tugged at my heartstrings.

But what truly sets DEMON FUZZ apart is their ability to seamlessly blend together various musical influences into a cohesive and captivating sound. Whether it's the funk-infused bass lines on "Afreaka" or the psychedelic vibes of "Message to Mankind," each track on "Roots And Offshoots" showcases the band's undeniable talent and creativity.

So if you're looking for an album that will make you want to get up and dance while also challenging your musical palette, look no further than DEMON FUZZ's "Roots And Offshoots." This is a record that proves that sometimes the best music is found in the most unexpected places.

About the artist

Demon Fuzz

Demon Fuzz were a fascinating and enigmatic presence in the British music scene of the early 1970s. Formed in London in the late 60s, this multicultural collective blended elements of funk, jazz, Afrobeat, and psychedelic rock to create a sound that was truly groundbreaking. Their debut album, "Afreaka!", released in 1970, remains a cult classic among music aficionados. The record is a tour de force of genre-bending experimentation, with tracks like "Past, Present and Future" and "Mercy (Variation No. 1)" showcasing the band's virtuosic musicianship and innovative approach to songwriting. Demon Fuzz were known for their electrifying live performances, with a lineup that often included up to ten members on stage at a time. Their eclectic mix of styles and influences made them a truly unique proposition in the early 70s music scene, and their influence can still be heard in the work of contemporary artists today. Sadly, Demon Fuzz disbanded in the mid-70s, leaving behind a small but powerful body of work that continues to capture the imagination of music fans around the world. While their time in the spotlight may have been short-lived, their impact on the music world is undeniable. Demon Fuzz may be gone, but their legacy lives on in the grooves of "Afreaka!" and the memories of those lucky enough to have experienced their magic live. In a landscape overcrowded with imitators and pretenders, Demon Fuzz were the real deal. Their music defied categorisation and transcended genre boundaries, marking them out as true pioneers of the golden age of British music. For those in the know, Demon Fuzz will always be remembered as a band that dared to be different - and succeeded in truly spectacular fashion.
