After a very long and mysterious journey it's finally here: The debut album of Danish heavy hippie hardrockers FUZZ MANTA.
You take two guitars, mix them up with bass and drums, and finally you add one powerful female vocal. Stir it all up for a while with blues, hardrock, stoner and an over all heavy hippie approach to life, send it out on a number of adventures along the highways and off-roads of Denmark, Austria and Germany and you end up with SMOKERINGS.
FUZZ MANTA is five devoted musicians united by their deep dedications and desires in music. All five members have contributed to the songwriting on SMOKERINGS, and this results in a huge variation in the repertoire. A great trademark for this album is the variety within each song. FUZZ MANTA use several ideas within each song, taking the listener to new and unforeseen places all the time, although always bound together by their melodic, heavy sound.
And FUZZ MANTA'S influences are wide: Individual inspiration comes from everything inbetween The Beatles, Motorpsycho, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, Ritchie Blackmore, Free, Kyuss, Jefferson Airplane, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and even Tool. Allow yourself to join FUZZ MANTA on this album made of pure soul and heart.
SMOKERINGS is the baby of a long lasting love of playing and composing. Although a pretty young band (FUZZ MANTA was formed in late 2006) the musicians have many years of experience from a wide range of other bands (a few mentioned: The Davolinas, Cherry Overdrive, Triggerbells, Aron, Hellroute 16). SMOKERINGS is a do-it-yourself production and the band has been deeply involved in every step of the process from songwriting to recording and mixing.
Collaborating with German/Danish booking & promoting company Magnificent Music FUZZ MANTA has already been around on the live stages of Northern Europe supporting/playing with bands like Nine Pound Hammer (US), Nebula (US), Color Haze (Ger), Phased (Swi), La Ira de Dios (Peru), The Magnificent Brotherhood (Ger), Orange Sunshine (Nl), Dzjenghis Khan (US), Marulk (Swe) and Hypnos69 (Bel) just to mention a few.
Summer/fall 2009 features festivals in Denmark and Germany, touring in Italy and furthermore FUZZ MANTA is touring Germany on a regular basis.

FUZZ MANTA was formed in late 2006. This is the short version!
The Davolinas (Foxy and Per) had been touring Germany, Belgium and Austria and had an album released. They split up due to problems finding a bassplayer.
Freddy, Morgan and Morten who`d mostly been in rehearsal, needed a drummer and got hold of Per. They existed under the name Triggerbells.
Later when a new singer was needed, Foxy joined..
„Wham bam thank you mam! Full on hard ass stoner rawk from hell. The boys were tight as a scotchman’s wallet and the fat riffs had bigger cohones than Attila the Hun. And Foxy, Christ all fucking mighty! She really let it all hang out rocking harder than any Dane!”
Lowcut Magazine 2006 (DK)
“Great vocals by Foxy. Lots of killer guitar solos. Love it. This band has a future – watch out!”
