FERRET Release
‘For The Love Of Pizza’
Ferret’s EP, ‘For The Love Of Pizza’, is a flavourful tribute to the bond the band shares over food, reflecting how their unique influences blend together to create their distinctive sound. The title pays homage to what drives and inspires the band, likening their creative process to crafting the perfect pizza—where each member adds their own "toppings" to the base of Ferret’s core sound. This instrumental EP showcases their ability to craft engaging music that stands strong without vocals, featuring dynamic peaks, valleys, and climaxes. Tracks like ‘Cheeki Breeki’ playfully evoke cartoon chases reminiscent of Tom and Jerry, while ‘Big Machine’ depicts a machine's gradual breakdown and ‘Galactose Intolerant’ humorously explores IBS in space. Drawing from a rich palette of influences—from the playful vibe of The Aristocrats and modern prog fusion bands like Plini and Intervals, to classic prog icons such as Genesis — Ferret infuses their music with a mix of jazz funk, progressive elements, and inventive twists.
Ferret have been cooking up their unique blend of prog rock since 2016, and currently dishing out sonic goodness with Anthony on guitar, Mark Andrew on drums and Owen on bass. Known for their energetic live shows, Ferret first hit the stage at Sickfest 2016, where they served up their signature sound. Their flavorful performances continued at events like Prog the Islands, Rock the South, and Farsons Beerfest, each gig a feast for the ears.
In 2019, Ferret had the opportunity to support Dream Theater, showcasing their ability to hold their own alongside one of the genre's greats. With a sound that combines heavy riffs, intricate rhythms, and a pinch of improvisation, Ferret has solidified their place in the local music scene. Whether they're cooking in the studio or serving it on stage, Ferret is a band that knows how to keep their audience coming back for seconds. After a brief hiatus due to the pandemic, Ferret reunited in 2022, simmering their old recipes and cooking up new ones. Now, with a flavourful EP on the horizon, they're ready to serve the world once again!
