The debut from this fatalistic foursome is a tour (de force) of the dark American underbelly. The Refreshments' upbeat, hard-edged roots rock serves as a foil to some decidedly pessimistic lyrics. The trenchant portraits on FIZZY FUZZY essay life on the bottom of the barrel. These are songs of the dispossessed, the disenchanted and the just plain dumb living lives of existential decrepitude.

The driving, guitar-driven "Blue Collar Suicide" finds the narrator detailing his lack of domestic bliss with lines like "I can't sleep 'cause she snores like a chainsaw." The song titles alone ("Down Together," "Suckerpunch") give a good idea of the high level of unhappiness so lovingly rendered throughout the album. The only relief in sight is musical, in the south-of-the-border feel of "Mexico" and the balladry of "Don't Wanna Know." On the barnburning "Banditos" the band poses the question: "Just how far down do you want to go?" Whatever the answer, you can bet the Refreshments will take you there.

Recorded at Ocean Way, Sunset Sound and Mad Hatter, Los Angeles, California.

The Refreshments: Brian Blush (guitar); Arthur "Buddy" Edwards (bass); P.H. Naffah (drums); Roger Clyne.

Additional personnel: Clif Norrell (trumpet); Skip Edwards (piano, Hammond B-3 organ).

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars A must for your collection!
The Refreshments restored my faith in American music. The dark humor and tounge-and-cheek lyrics that permeate the album will make you laugh... and most importantly, make you sing along at the top of your voice! Enjoy the strong Southwestern influence throughout the album!

I actually bought this CD based on the cool CD cover. I figured any band that had the good taste to use Aircraft Nose Art on it's CD had to be good! I was right! A great CD! "Here's to life..." -Don

5 stars Refreshments ROCK, BABY!!!!
This is one of the best albums anyone can own. Hailing from Tempe, AZ, this band shows just how great the local scene in Tempe really is!
Unfortunatly, the band has broken up but a new band called the Peacemakers has formed and is just as good if not better.
Highly recommended!

With her third album, FAITH, Faith Hill tasted pop crossover success--and she evidently liked the taste. BREATHE, Hill's fourth release, takes the pop/country stylings of FAITH to the next level. It's an appealing collection of pop, gospel, R&B, rock, and ballads, with just a bit of country thrown in. The production, featuring Hill's big voice surrounded by booming drums and screaming guitars, is so slick ...
