Fizzy Blood announce new EP ‘Pink Magic’

FIZZY BLOOD have announced a new EP!

The upcoming EP, titled Pink Magic, follows last year’s Summer of Luv and is scheduled to be released later this year! Speaking about the upcoming EP, guitarist Paul Howells says, “the Pink Magic EP is our third and final EP. It’s taken us a few years to figure out who we are as a band, as musicians and as people, and this is the happiest we’ve ever been with our music. In the UK music scene it’s easy to get boxed in, we’ve managed to tour with the likes of WHILE SHE SLEEPS and then go straight on to hit the road with SPRING KING, very different crowds and very different music, however, all this has taught us is that we’re not a metal band and we’re not an indie band, we want to be the band that excites all listeners of music and more, so stop giving out titles and just enjoy it. After touring and being around each other non stop for the past four years, we’re now very comfortable in our own skin. Our third EP is what we believe to be the most accurate representation of who we are as a band and where we want to take our music moving forward. We’re happy to present the EPs as a trilogy but I wouldn’t kid anyone and say this was the plan from the start. These three offerings will have to tide you over till we’re finished with what comes next…”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released the title track as a new single. Speaking about the new track, Paul Howells says, Pink magic is probably the easiest song we’ve ever written. It kind of just fell into our laps when together we were messing around with a korg, we got a bit of a trance-like groove going and just decided to see how far we could take that before it became boring. We never found the answer, instead we got Pink Magic. The lead guitar part, which at the time I didn’t know was gonna become Pink Magic, came about when I was messing around with a musical phone in the call centre I worked in at the time. Each key was assigned a different pitch and pressing them in the order of a phone number pulled from the Hull phone book gives you the melody you hear in the intro.”
