Italian garage rockers FVZZ POPVLI release new track “Temple of Doom”; new album “Melting Pop” out February 7th on Heavy Psych Sounds.
Roman garage psych and punk trio FVZZ POPVLI shares a raucous new track taken from their upcoming fourth album “Melting Pop”, to be released on February 7th through Heavy Psych Sounds.
Founded in Rome by Pootchie and Datio in A.D. MMXVI, FVZZ POPVLI is a power trio that delivers heavy fuzzy riffs in a straightforward and no-frills fashion. They play a wild blend of Black Sabbath-style heaviness and 70s psychedelia, with an overall rough garage punk attitude à la The Stooges.
About the song, the band comments: “We love Indiana Jones, so we wrote a track about Indy himself, fighting the bad guys and always coming out on top. It fills us with hope for the world we live in, which could really use some. In this song, we put all that really is “Melting Pop” for us: Fvzz-heavy, glorious, catchy, powerful riffs and still you can do a sing-along in the choruses. We want “Temple of Doom” to go over the boundaries between different genres of heavy rock music and make people having fun listening to it as much as we enjoy playing it. Did we succeed?”
“Melting Pop” will be released on February 7th on Heavy Psych Sounds in various vinyl editions, CD and digital formats. Check out Fvzz Popvli’s latest singles “Salted Biscuits” and “Telephone“!

Out February 7th on Heavy Psych Sounds – PREORDER
The band released their debut EP in May 2017 with a promotional tour in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. In June, they signed to Heavy Psych Sounds for the release of their debut album “Fvzz Dei”, which has brought the band to more than 70 European stages in eight countries including the revered indie festival Duna Jam. In 2018, FVZZ POPVLI released their second album “Magna Fuzz” followed by 75 European shows with appearances at festivals such as HPS Fest, Le Grand Incendie, Berlin Swamp Fest and Tabernas Desert Rock Festival. In 2019, the band signed with indie label Retrovox and released their third studio album “Fvzz Popvli III” in March 2023, supported by four European tours.
FVZZ POPVLI have shared the stage with White Hills, Black Rainbows, Ufomammut, Karma To Burn, Mars Red Sky, Rotor, Naxatras, Lili Refrain, El Perro, Giöbia, Zodiac, DYSE, Powder for Pigeons, Hypnos, The Tazers, Mother Engine, The Midnight Ghost Train and much more.
About their upcoming new album, the band says: “As always, we decided to do our own thing. We’re just so over the same old tired riffs and worn-out stoner vibes, like a pair of Birkenstocks at an indie concert, and let’s not even start on those interesting lyrics about how to smoke weed (seriously, tell us more!). So here we are at a crossroads: should we just follow the crowd and do what everyone else is doing, or put in the hard work to create something that makes us happy while we play it? Well, here’s Melting Pop! It’s not stoner, it’s not garage, it’s not punk, it’s not psych, it’s not even a traditional album. It’s melting, a blend of Fvzz Popvli saying “screw the labels” and just going with the flow, all-natural, like grown-ups with no preservatives.”
