Fulvetta:

A juxtaposition of ethereal dreaminess and big loud fuzzy riffs, that’s exactly what Dublin’s band Fulvetta’s music is; one big organised mess, but one that’s lush and chaotic at the same time.Fulvetta draw influences from a variety of genres and bands. From a dreamy, reverb-laden shoegaze pioneers my bloody valentine and Slowdive, classic 90s bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins and Hum, and fuzzed up noise from the likes of Dinosaur Jr. and Sonic Youth, their goal is to create an amalgamation of everything which made them fall in love with music and create their own unique sound.”It sounds like The Smiths met Billy Corgan and Kevin Shields in a Manchester boozer and said fuck it let’s go record a big one .” – Blowtorch Records.
