Tuff Luck find themselves on ‘Fame & Fortune’, creating an EP that will delight any lover of music, especially those looking for a genre-bending experience.
Tuff Luck – Fame & Fortune
Tuff Luck is a 5-piece band from Vernon, BC, Canada. Their energy is second to none, and their new EP ‘Fame & Fortune’ does nothing but solidify this.
The opening of ‘Fame & Fortune’ kicks off with a genuinely unique sound blending what seems to be Rock, Country and classic Rock N Roll. The whole opening song is mischievously great in the way it depicts the life of someone thrust into fame.
Things seem to calm down at the beginning of ‘The Nothing’, whilst the blasting harmonica keeps us alert. The song quickly builds on the playful, insightful lyricism the band is known for. The first two songs mesh to create a hard-hitting, truth-telling tale.
‘Foxy Little Mama’ is the shortest of the bunch in terms of track time, but that doesn’t stop it from packing a punch. The two minutes and forty-nine seconds offer a funky break from the serious themes of before. The jive is high, and the atmosphere is good. This break slots perfectly midway through the album and gets us ready for the most indulgent track on the list.
Standing at six minutes and ten seconds, ‘The Reaper’ allows for the instrumental power of the group to shine. Hoarse, vicious vocals regularly rip through the exciting blend of instruments, creating a track that rises and falls continuously.
The last song has a nice ending with a classic feel, as ‘Bottle of Scotch’ brings an end to the proceedings. The song allows the album to end with a bang and leaves the listener hyped up and ready for more.
The album blends the five songs seamlessly and demonstrates Tuff Luck’s ability to create a well-thought-out sequence of music. I look forward to their future projects and hope they continue their journey with the same tenacity they’ve shown on this EP.
