| | Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy CD (1996)
 $12.59   
Though much of this debut is about alcohol, Mexico, and girls (topics that the band later revisited on 1997's The Bottle & Fresh Horses, albeit with a strong southwestern influence), the album also sports a sense of humor and lack of pretension that helped make the Refreshments minor stars. The Refreshments' upbeat, hard-edged roots rock serves as a foil to some decidedly pessimistic lyrics. The debut from this fatalistic foursome is a tour (de force) of the dark American underbelly. 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.
Hailing from Tempe, AZ, the Refreshments launched their short-lived career as a solid frat boy band, and Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy captures that period with muscled guitar riffs and strong vocals. 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 trenchant portraits on FIZZY FUZZY essay life on the bottom of the barrel.
