Shaved Hamster – Somewhere Between Fuzzy and Clean by Debut Album
Many bands in the current Florida scene that fall into the ‘alternative rock’ genre offer sugary and polished middle-of-the-road radio ditties, and little else. More often than not, this leaves behind a sour taste, as true rock fans look for a more substantial fix. Shaved Hamster has an affinity with ‘alternative’ in its true sense, as their full-length debut draws on: the Pixies, REM, Sonic Youth and Faith No More. Somewhere Between Fuzzy and Clean takes in lightning-struck guitar sermons, and a love of every sub-genre of rock. ‘Hot Rod’ is an industrious groove-monster of an opener, while ‘You’re Gonna Make It’ is a three-minute burst of 90s guitar-pop that is held together by back and forth screams and contrasting Beatlesque harmonies. With each individual track that passes, the five-piece range from a mid-paced walk to a full-on sprint, finishing with ‘Don’t Lose Your Head’ – the sound of Dr Feelgood shooting up on cheap glamour. What started out as Stuart Jennings and Amy T Baxter’s joint project in 2009, has seen them enlist a wide circle of guest musicians, including full-time band members and ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist, Scott Putesky – a long time friend of Baxter, who helped to form their studio sound. Shaved Hamster is Florida’s alternative scene.

Florida musician Scott Putesky co-founded iconic industrial/hard rock band Marilyn Manson and played guitar for the band under the name Daisy Berkowitz. Currently Putesky – who left Marilyn Manson over creative differences in 1996 – plays lead guitar for South Florida electro-raunch rock band, Kill Miss Pretty. He also is recording an album for a new band, Shaved Hamster; does fine art photography, and is preparing original artwork for a show in New Orleans..

If you're under 25 they are simply 'now' by if you're over 35, they're Nu Wave
If you're under 25 they are simply 'now' if you're over 35, they're Nu Wave! New US fringe rock doesn't get any more 'un-American' than these very European sounding guys. In fact they sound retro and fresh in equal measure, which makes them a paradox and that's an especially healthy thing to be in music.
