“Boston's Smitt E. Smitty & The Fezztones make weirdo rock and roll. The band's latest single, ‘Buzzkill Baby,’ falls on the heavier side of rock without being metal, punk, or even hard rock. It's a bombastic cut with more of a choir than gang vocals and more than its fair share of groove. It combines the proto-punk of Smitty's hometown of Detroit with the anything-goes rock and humor of Frank Zappa and the lighthearted vibes of They Might Be Giants. It's a weird song that is still firmly rooted in rock without being a true novelty song. It's a special kind of skill to go this deep into the world of fun or weird without getting zany, and Smitt E. Smitty & The Fezztones deftly pull this off.” - If It’s Too Loud
