Boston power pop band The Cinnamon Fuzz made their NYC debut last week with an early morning show at Arlene's Grocery. (These post-midnight start times are going to kill me one day.) The band played a strong set consisting of "80's new-wave" sounding originals from their debut EP "Cruise of the Century" along with a well chosen Prince cover.
The Cinnamon Fuzz just released their debut CD as a pay-what-you-will download on Bandcamp and the disc captures some of the best elements of 80's new wave. The five tracks range from the funk/Nile Rodgers style guitar work on "Reboot My Heart" to the exuberant Kim Wilde syle harmonies on "Time Bomb Tickin'" to the Depeche Mode style melancholia of "Strangers".

DOWNLOAD: The Cinnamon Fuzz - "Strangers"Boston's The Cinnamon Fuzz play synth-oriented power pop with a sound that falls pleasantly between The Cars and Fountains of Wayne. The band captures some of the best elements of 80's new wave on the disc's five tracks which range from the funk/Nile Rodgers style guitar work on "Reboot My Heart" to the exuberant Kim Wilde syle harmonies on "Time Bomb Tickin'" to the Depeche Mode style melancholia of "Strangers".
The band just released their debut CD as a pay-what-you-will download on Bandcamp (click on the CD cover to go over to the download site) and they are making their NYC debut at Arlene's Grocery on September 30th. White Collar Crime (9PM), Fosterchild (10PM) and The Golden Girls [x-Fixer](11PM) are sharing the bill and The Cinnamon Fuzz is going on at midnight.
