»How To Vibe Alone« is the new single of Fuzz Evil’s 4th studio record »Smear Merchants« to be released on March 21st, 2025 on Desert Records.

“»Smear Merchants« marks a transformative moment for Fuzz Evil. Expanding from a three-piece to a four-piece lineup, the band’s sound is bigger, heavier, and more dynamic than ever before. Written, recorded, and produced entirely DIY, this album gave Fuzz Evil the freedom to push boundaries and experiment – and it shows. Every riff, transition, and effect reflects the band’s uncompromising vision and creative exploration.” – The Sleeping Shaman
