Photo Credit - Heather KoeppOn Friday February 3rd, Los Angeles based rock trio Fencer had released their long awaited self-produced debut self-titled album through Blood Blast Distribution and to celebrate they had also released the official music video for their track Couch. This band has been working hard the last handful of years opening for bands and generating a lot of buzz amongst fans, that hard work has paid off. Throughout the album, there’s something for everyone to love. The flow of the album itself takes you on a rollercoaster you don’t want off of. Their garage sound with lyrics that emphasize the struggle of mental illness is evident, they present their message with their tracks perfectly with a groove rock sound that even has some blues added in making a sound all their own.
“Very excited to finally have our first album out in the world. We’ve worked really hard on this and feel it’s the most accurate representation of what we’re all about, proud to have it as the first full length release in our discography. The recent single “Couch” is about boredom and drugs and sitting on your couch all day. The video is as ridiculous and silly as we could possibly make it so we hope it’s something that can make you laugh or maybe get a catchy hook stuck in your head. Please enjoy and make your own meaning of the tracklist we spent the last couple years creating | == |”
Although their debut album is self-produced, it was mixed by Henry Lunetta (5 Seconds Of Summer, State Champs, Grayscale) and mastered by Zach Fisher (Weezer, Rancid, Bad Religion). Prior to album release, Fencer had previously dropped tracks "Junebug", "Sanitarium", and "Joseph Courtney" which had racked up over 1.5 million listens across all streaming platforms. Keep an eye out for more Fencer news coming soon.
WHAT THE PRESS ARE SAYING:
“This album is a fantastic example of how to step out and make a scene.
In a mentally visual sense, this album stuck true to the band’s motto of “Everything must be blue.” Each song is a shade of blue, different from the last, ranging from deep, vibrant, and hazy to bright, pale, and cheery. All in all, Fencer couldn’t have put together a better collection of songs as a way to debut themselves. This is an album that will open many doors for the band.
5/5”
“Field’s soulful, melodic vocals pierce right through you from start to finish and are perfectly accompanied by a bluesy bassline and rhythmic drums. Field’s vocal range on this entire album is beyond impressive.
This album was just a rollercoaster of emotion and you could feel every word rush over you.
Fencer has really set the bar high for their next album.”
“This album has something for everyone and very diverse.”
