Eclectic quartet Fonzy and Company released their third EP Touche last week. Produced by Innersound Audio, the four-track EP combines Indie. Pop and Alternative elements to create a burst of energetic rock for the listener.
Formed in 2019 by lead vocalist/guitarist Fonzy Armour as a solo recording project, Armour decided he needed some company upon feeling impressed with the material recorded. Long-time friends Olivia Jury and Sam Bennett joined on vocals and bass, respectively. The trio soon released two EPS', Last Birth and Is It Me? to critical acclaim, garnering 1500 worldwide radio plays. The trio went through several lineups until they decided three was a company and they added lead guitarist/vocalist Lauren Hannah and bassist Sam Lane last year as permanent members.
The EP opens with the anthemic 'The Kids Stay Home', a feel-good slab of pop-punk with a raw energetic feel and bouncing beats that set the feeling for the remainder of the release. Next up is the heavier 'Precious Malicious' that sees vocalist Fonzy Armour swap verses with fellow vocalists Olivia Jury and Lauren Hannah over scorching guitar leads and solos. The song breaks up with a more mellow part of dreamy pop guitar passages. ' No Way Man (You Are Old)' is a fun two-minute of old-school pop-rock that sounds like Jury and Fonzy are in their element. The frenetic guitar riffs and hook-laden choruses remind me of acts like Green Day and Jimmy Eat World.
And finally, 'The Serenade' is a ballad with luxurious melodies to wrap up an enjoyable outing for Fonzy and Company.
Overall, Touche brings 30 minutes of Happy Days with mature songwriting, relatable lyrics and surprisingly heavy riffs.
Rating 8/10
