Today, FIZZ (the new collective of beloved musicians and friends: dodie, Orla Gartland, Greta Isaac and Martin Luke Brown) share their second single ‘Hell Of A Ride’, lifted from their debut album The Secret To Life, out 15th September via Decca Records.
Following ‘High In Brighton’, ‘Hell of a Ride’ showcases another side of the band’s eclectic songwriting styles and the diversity of sounds the band experimented with in the making of The Secret To Life. Driven by a distinctive bassline and vocals from Martin Luke Brown, the song confronts the rollercoaster that is life head on, all guns blazing.
FIZZ say, “Getting older is scary; getting older when the world is burning down around you is even scarier. Written in LA and recorded in Devon (that classic trajectory) ‘Hell Of A Ride’ is our apocalyptic banger, fronted daringly by Martin. Armed with a combination of “f**k it” and a good old bout of cynism, this part of the story has us screaming on the front lines entering the warzone that is adulthood.”
FIZZ have also announced their first ever headline UK + Ireland tour, taking in 9 shows this Autumn and culminating at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire. Tickets will be on general sale from 10am next Friday 7th July below.
Last month FIZZ played a triumphant sold out debut headline show at London’s Hoxton Hall, previewing tracks from their forthcoming debut album The Secret To Life, due for release on 15th September via Decca Records. FIZZ will also appear at a number of festivals this summer, full list of live dates below.
Born out of love and blind optimism, FIZZ came together in a whirlwind of pure joy and escapism, inverting everything each artist knew about making music to produce an album with fun and a love of the craft at its core. The Secret To Life is a collection of 12 tracks that exist somewhere in the space between reality and make believe that came to life at Middle Farm Studios last summer with sonic wizard Pete Miles.
Welcome to FIZZ’s quest to discover the secret to life: infinite, dreamlike, colourful and unpredictable. Maybe the answers were within them all along.
