City Weezle’s founder-member Simon Fleury labels himself a ”vocal Viking” and sounds like Serj Tankian on acid. He sings, does ”baby screams” and plays guitar and banjo.
The band bio tells me the four-piece were founded in Paris in 2005 by this potato lovin’ Irishman.” Cited influences include Mr. Bungle, The Melvins, Frank Zappa and King Crimson. A nod to the latter come in the form a nine minute instrumental entitled Crimson Jig.
The resultant prog-punk-metal sound stew casts caution to the wind and is, to say the least, eccentric.
It’s wild, wordy and energetically throws a bewildering array of styles into the mix hoping some of them will stick.
Few do.
