Fuzz is a rock band from San Francisco formed in 2011. The band consists of Charles Moothart (vocals, guitar), Ty Segall (vocals, drums), and Chad Ubovich (vocals, bass guitar).
Created as an outlet for Moothart's affection for hard rock riffs, Fuzz began as collaboration between Moothart and Segall, while Moothart performed in Segall's live band. In 2012, they released two singles, "This Time I Got a Reason" and "Sleigh Ride", and were joined by the bass guitarist Roland Cosio.
In October 2013, the band released its first album, Fuzz. While touring the album, Ubovich (Meatbodies and Mikal Cronin Band) replaced Cosio on bass guitar. In October 2015, Fuzz released a second album, entitled II. It was written in a more collaborative manner than the band members had generally experienced before. In October 2020, a third album, entitled III, was released.
