Perfect Buzz Supermassive Superstar CD
Patrick “Petey” Foss has been a stalwart of the Portland punk and garage scene for over a decade now. He fronted PURE COUNTRY GOLD in the early ’00s as they’d tear up the local dive bars with their twangy, country-tinged punk blasts. Foss’s vocals now actually sound like his voice is getting younger as time rolls on. His current band, PERFECT BUZZ, has put out five new blistering tracks that they self-released, but they would have been at home on Estrus Records in their heyday. The opening track “Supermassive” has the swagger of MONO MEN or early MUDHONEY. “Wordsmithing” pulls from ’60s garage pop OBLIVIANS-style, and the closer “Superstar” is a fuzzed-out, lovelorn psych tune. Let’s hope we see a full-length from them soon.
