Massive Hassle

Massive Hassle

Massive Hassle is a two-piece rock band from Nottingham, UK, featuring brothers Marty Fisher and Bill Fisher (both previously seen in bands such as Mammothwing, Church of the Cosmic Skull, Dystopian Future Movies, and many more).

Their debut album, Number One, was recorded live and filmed in single takes, with both brothers singing in harmony or unison throughout. It was released as a series of live videos leading up to the album launch in late 2023.

Continuing to combine a variety of influences, including garage-rock, soul, jazz, blues, punk, country, and doom metal, with meticulous two-part vocal harmonies, Massive Hassle released their second album, Unreal Damage, on August 16th, 2024, on Septaphonic Records.

We’ve given it a listen, and John has written a review: “While it may have been a massive hassle to record, it certainly isn’t to listen to... here’s hoping for some live shows, if they can be arsed, that is.”

I’ve had it playing most of the week; one of my favourites is “Tenspot.”

You can get the latest album and catalog on vinyl, as well as some amazing merch, so check them out.

Some other reviews:

“A dreamy mix of the Fishers’ musical DNA – we can hear blues, rock, doom metal, soft rootsy touches… and all of it recorded live.” – Classic Rock Magazine

“Way-soulful in vibe and works as fluidly as one might expect from two dudes who actually grew up together.” – The Obelisk
