Fuss have released their debut album which is titled "About Nothing." This album shows the band in a very Indie and all over the place way. The songs here seem to be in many directions and it's hard to know whats going on in them at times. These guys have a similar sound to that of  bands like Pup, Pkew Pkew Pkew and maybe even a Born Ruffians, so if you like those artists, you could really like this band. They have done an alright job here.

When looking at the recording quality, the record has been recorded to a not so great quality. The album is listenable, but it has a very rough and from far away sound when you listen to it. This feels more like a couple songs just thrown together to have recorded rather than an actual full offering from the band. The instrumentation on the album isn't bad, but it isn't going to wow you either. They have done just a little more than average here, so it's just good overall playing. 

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are a but hard to hear, due to the quality, but you can tell he can sing. The singer and sing, and he is pretty clear, so with a better recording, you could get everything from this album. Not bad on the vocals honestly. With the lyrics, the album just sounds a bit too rough to fully get what the songs ae about, so we can't grasp the fully experience of the album.

If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album as a whole.

Fuss have put out a four song album that introduces you to the band and their style of music. They have done an okay job here, but it is pretty much just a "hey this is us" sort of offering. We are hoping to hear more so that we can say yes this band has it or not. As for us, we are undecided on the band with this effort. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
