Just so you know, ‘peach fuzz’ refers to the soft, downy hair that grows on the face and body, especially noticeable on the face of young people before they develop a beard. But it’s also the name of an indie pop band from Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. A name that perfectly describes their music, which is juicy and sweet like velvet, but comes with a pit.

Peach Pit consists of singer Lucinda Gray, guitarist and singer Ben La, his drumming brother James La and bassist Lewis Rich. The band is best known for their catchy guitar riffs, soaring dual vocals and wild stage presence. Their music draws inspiration from ‘70s pop-rock and ‘90s indie rock, whilst putting a fresh and fuzzy spin on it.

The group was formed in 2019 by high school friends Ben La and Lewis Rich, who would jam to classic rock songs before they had jazz ensemble rehearsal. Neither of them could really actually jazz, so they decided to form a band together and play pop-rock music for fun. It wasn’t until 2022 that James La and their friend-through-a-friend Lucinda Gray joined the band.

Fall Right Back To You is Peach Fuzz’s new single. As captivating as ever, it’s released ahead of their new EP Isn’t It Obvious?, which is scheduled for delivery on 17 September.

Fall Right Back To You by Peach Fuzz is the new Carte Blanche Music Wildcard. It will be prominently displayed at the top of the blog for an entire week.
