artist Double Fuzz

Double Fuzz is a lot of band. Jon Whitehead and Roland Lowson both tower well above six feet, a metric that seems to be exaggerated on stage, their rugged masculinity on display as if they finally solved the puzzle of rock and roll. As a two-piece band, the temptation is to err on the side of scrappy garage grit, but Double Fuzz dig deep and blow their sound up to far larger proportions than their lineup would otherwise suggest. The stage sags underneath Whitehead's three daisy-chained amps swelling his guitar attack while Lowson drives the metronome forward with dizzying force, pounding out the enormous rhythm with deceptive ease. Their riff-driven sound howls and snarls a confident swagger, as if the duo were a pair of caged animals looking for a release, all cock and strut.

Formed in the summer of 2010, the two members of Double Fuzz, Jon Whitehead (vocals / guitar) and Roland Lowson (drums) met while working in a Calgary restaurant and shortly thereafter began creating their original material. Quickly catching the attention of local venue owners and fans alike, Double Fuzz have steadily progressed in their hometown of Calgary, headlining venues like the Republik and Broken City with bands such as The Dudes and L.A.'s Warpaint, and playing festivals like Sled Island and the Factory party.

These two self taught musicians have recently recorded an eight song album in Vancouver with the talented, indy producer Jesse Gander who has also recorded with The Pack A.D., Japandroids, Black Mountain and many more at The Hive Studio. This release has been well received by fans and the music press in Calgary, and there is lots yet to come from this duo.
