Universal Music India to launch FuzzCulture’s debut album titled ‘No’

Known for their wild and energetic performances, Fuzzculture was formed in 2012 by Guitarist/ Vocalist - Arsh Sharma and Drummer - Srijan Mahajan. This two piece electronicmusic outfit from New Delhi, India, evolved from a project that took over a year and a half in the studio and then on to a full-fledged live act.

They are all set to release their debut album –‘NO’ after a successful EP launch in 2013. The band has returned to their roots of Rock’ n’ Roll with very strong live elements in their songs. The album consists of 8 tracks moving between Industrial Rock to Electronic Pop and Punk Rock in this Universal Music Release.

The duo at FuzzCulture, aims to combine melody and groove within a framework of mix-tape experimentation. Their shows are often recalled for the ‘sheer energy they bring along on a promising roller-coaster ride’.

Arsh and Srijan are no strangers to the Indie circuit. While FuzzCulture re-introduced them as a distinct act no less, they have been around. Arsh as the Guitarist/Vocalist for The Circus, who has played over 150 Shows in the country and abroad.And Srijan as the Drummer for Parikrama, Half Step Down and Cyanide, and has played over 500 shows in the country and all over the world.

FuzzCulture’s first full length album NO follows their critically acclaimed EP titled Indulge. Divulge that was released in 2013. NO features 8 songs which combine influences ranging from industrial to bass to rock to glitch music. The songs are all provocative in nature and aim to push the boundaries of electronic music and give the safe nature of most electronic music found in the scene today an angry and unpredictable twist. The songs have themes which are mostly based on the negative emotions found in the human condition whether they be jealousy, anger , resentment , a need for isolation or the fear of growing old. The album has a heavy and diverse sound and aims to push the listener’s imagination to what is possible in the realm of electronic music and they try to explore previously unexplored emotions in this realm of music.

Since 2012, FuzzCulture has played over 70 shows in the country including most major festivals such as NH7 Weekender, VH1 Supersonic, Sunburn Festival, City Of M, Celeste Festival, Shiva Squad Festival, Escape Festival, Red Bull Tour Bus etc. FuzzCulture has also toured the UK and Malaysia over the last two years. They also were recipients of VIMA (Voice International Music Awards) Asia’s highest honour the “Thank you for existing “award for which they performed at the awards ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were also nominated for “Best Emerging Artist” by Rolling Stone India in 2013 and have been featured in many best of lists since then. FuzzCulture’s live shows promise to be ripe with energy, and you would be advised to come prepared for a full-fledged roller-coaster ride.

All Songs written and composed and mixed by Arsh Sharma and Srijan Mahajan at Studio Fuzz and mastered by Darius Van Helfeteren at Amsterdam Mastering.

Both Arsh and Srijan apart from their vocal and drumming duties (respectively) handle FX/Programming for FuzzCulture when not playing full time producers at Studio Fuzz or focusing on their projects on film and television projects.
