Demon Fuzz was an Afro-rock group whose members had all immigrated to Britain from Commonwealth countries. The band's only album released in 1970, the extraordinary "Afreaka!", proves how well they mastered psychedelic soul, dubby funk, progressive rock, Afro-jazz and black acid rock. Demon Fuzz are now one of the most stolen and sampled bands from the British underground of the early 70s. In June 1971, the band was selected as a "4-STAR" by Billboard.
The name of the band means "children of the devil or bad cops". Originally they played soul, but the music they heard during a trip to Morocco led to a change in their style, which is described as a mixture of funk, rock, jazz and African music.
"Afreaka!" is available in a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on Translucent Magenta.
