In this new episode, my special guest is Fauzi, the band leader from Izzy Rocks. Izzy Rocks is an Alternative Rock band from sunny Singapore. With the sound of grunge and brit-rock at heart, Izzy Rocks is consist of Izzy (Bass & Vocals), Yan Antonio (Guitars) and Den Shah (Drums). The 3 piece act was formed after the release of Metamorphosis on 2017 where founder Izzy did a solo out of Izzy Rocks. It later evolved to become a band back in December 2017 with Yan Antonio and then drummer Su Her Wan. Deen Shah came in on September 2018 as a replacement for the latter and this has been the band lineup ever since. The music of IZZY ROCKS evolves around the Grunge and Alternative distorted sounds coupled with Brit-style rock type vocals, A total mashup of bipolar opposite genres back in the day, brought upon to what is called IZZY ROCKS. Their new single "Feel Alright" will be out in 3 Dec.
