Fuzzbubble - Out There

The turn of the millenium was a weird time for music.  It's around this time that file sharing was just starting to take off, streaming wasn't yet a thing, and there was also a notable shift in radio on both sides of the pond which saw stations being bought up and rapidly shifting away from their own DJ's playlists to all just playing the same handful of plastic pop tunes.  As a result, up and coming bands that would have gotten a lot airplay just a year or two before suddenly became much less marketable, and labels scrambled to adapt.

That little history story brings us to one of the many bands that fell through this crack, Fuzzbubble.  The rock trio from New York definitely had the sound and energy, and seemed poised for big things.  Had their self titled debut album dropped in 97 or 98 this might have been the case, but when it arrived in 2000 it very much fell off the map (indeed it was impossible to find at all in the UK and I ended up settling for a second hand purchase a couple of years later) and the band called it quits shortly after.  In recent years they've reformed and put out another album, but we can't help but think what might have been had the die been cast slightly differently.

Fuzzbubble made a couple of soundtrack appearances a few years before their first album, and one of those was "Out There" which was on the vastly-superior-to-the-film album for 1998's Godzilla (an album that also contains a superior version of Brain Stew by Green Day along with a few other treats).  So that's the one we're going with today folks - Enjoy!  As far as I'm aware it wasn't in the movie, and I definitely won't go back to watch it to make sure.
