(Artist Report)

Written by: Ginny Gaines  

Strawberry Fuzz is a punk and garage rock band from Venice Beach, California. They started in 2020 and bring a raw, chaotic energy to their music. Their songs are inspired by life in Los Angeles, full of stories about partying, rebellion, and the grittier side of city life. The band members are: Colby Rodgers (vocals), Alex Arias (guitar and producer), Kris Miller (guitar), Kris Miller (bass), and Andy Warren (drums). They all bring something raw and real to the band - no filters, no polish.

Imagine a mix of classic punk, garage rock, and surf vibes, all rolled into one. Their music is fast, messy (in a good way), and full of distorted guitars, loud vocals, and wild drumming. They sound similar to The Stooges, The Chats, and Viagra Boys, but with their own Venice Beach style. They sing about everyday stuff, like smoking, drinking, feeling broke, being bored, hanging at the beach, and not really caring what anyone thinks. Their songs are short, punchy, and full of energy.

In 2021, they released their album titled Fuzz Tapes Vol.1. This album has 10 songs on it that include "Backstage," "Out To Lunch," "Disco Crawl," "Long Ride To Hollywood," "Ratface," and "Waking Up." This was their first full-length album. Strawberry released their next album titled Strongs Dr. This album has 11 tracks on it that include "No Lighter," "Wasting My Time," "East of the 405," "Go Home Kook," and "Corner Store." This album is a quick listen (under 25 minutes) but hits hard from start to finish and is about keeping punk wild and unpredictable, with no rules holding them back.

Strawberry Fuzz is all about high-energy performances. Their concerts are loud, chaotic, and packed with energy, making people feel like they’re in the middle of a punk rebellion. They even sold out a show at the legendary Troubadour, proving they’re a rising force in the punk scene.

Strawberry Fuzz is not just another punk band—they are a movement, capturing the raw, unfiltered essence of Venice Beach. Their music is bold, unapologetic, and rebellious, making them one of the most exciting acts in the modern punk and garage rock scene. If you love punk with personality, don’t sleep on these Venice Beach troublemakers. They’re loud, proud, and bringing the fun back to the underground scene.
