After releasing one of their finest albums New York City, Brooklyn favourites The Men are releasing a live Fuzz Club Session album due out digitally and on limited double LP vinyl June 23rd. Originally lifted from 2016’s ‘Devil Music’, the band are dropping a video for the blistering noise-rock of ‘Fire’ filmed on 16mm when they were in the studio.

Recorded live to 2” tape at Brooklyn’s Serious Business Studio with Travis Harrison (Guided By Voices, Built To Spill), the live session sees the Men storm through tracks from ‘New York City and ‘Devil Music’, a cover of UK punk band Blitz and nine-brand new tracks that have never seen the light of the day until now, ranging from noise-rock scorchers and cathartic rock’n’roll to lo-fi country-rock and hypnotising drones.

Announcing the session, the band wrote: “We’re excited to announce this special record. We recorded this all in one hot Summer day in the spirit of trying to execute magic with no plan B or any second takes. The session was recorded on 2” tape by Travis Harrison and filmed on 16mm by Ryan Marino.”

This is the 20th release in the Fuzz Club Session series from London-based label Fuzz Club, which has previously hosted the likes of A Place To Bury Strangers, Night Beats, Holy Wave, The Entrance Band, Heaters, Lumerians, The Underground Youth and more. The session is pressed on 45rpm 180g black or milky clear vinyl, the latter limited to 500 copies.
