We don’t know what we did to be so lucky, but we recently had the amazingly awesome opportunity to check out the shiny new single, “Big Ass American Car “ from the extraordinary musical experience, that is Smitt E. Smith & The Fezztones…. “Big Ass American Car “ is, Smitt E. Smith & The Fezztones, running on all cylinders. You can listen to “Big Ass American Car” on Spotify Here

“Big Ass American Car, originally done a while back by late Boston musician Trick Wallace, hits all major streaming platforms on the holiday, ( April Fool’s Day) and arrives with an official music video produced by Smitty himself. 

Muscular in sound and stature, with a gritty low-end bounce and a slick, confident seduction in its high-octane delivery, The Fezztones’ rendition has enough gas to rival whatever rock band’s playing arenas these days. “Big Ass American Car” also marks the inaugural release from Smitty’s brand new FezzKoKo Records, which will also issue new music from Little Billy Lost next month. 

“‘Big Ass American Car’ has Smitt E. Smitty & The Fezztones written all over it,” says Smitty with a laugh. “It truly sounds like us. Live and recorded. Once Johnny Sestito [drums] and Andrew Padua [bass] laid down that hardcore Motor City groove, everything just fell into place. Like buttah. The entire band brought their ‘A’ game and made this song come alive.”

Big Ass American Car” pulls up on life’s highway just as a swell of summer activity starts to illuminate Smitt E. Smitty & The Fezztones’ busy year ahead. The animated and high-energy glam and art-rock brigade play The Midway Café in Jamaica Plain on July 11; head down to New York City for a gig at Parkside Lounge on July 24; and return to Smitty’s hometown for the The Detroit All-Star Garage Rock Punk Revue V at Small’s in Hamtramck on August 29. 

It’s also the first new music from The Fezztones since last year’s Radio Indie Alliance chart-topping Number 1 hit “#1 Most Likely,” and comes fresh off 2022 anthem “Buzzkill Baby” getting some recent spins on The Coolest Songs in the World channel on SiriusXM’s Little Steven’s Underground Garage. That’s not to mention the release last fall of new music from Smitty’s groundbreaking Boston and Detroit post-punk and synth-pop band Figures on a Beach, their first in more than three decades. 

“Big Ass American Car” also marks the inaugural release from Smitty’s new indie record label, FezzKoKo Records, which will issue this song as well as Little Billy Lost’s forthcoming April single “Under The Gun,” giving a label home to the bands that keep the tireless musician and advocate for Boston music’s motor running. 

“Full disclosure, I never wanted to have a record label,” Smitty admits. “I am too busy playing in two bands, writing songs, doing art and music videos for both bands, and promoting them to the best of my abilities. But I also knew the two brand new songs The Fezztones and Little Billy Lost were going to put out were going to be the best of the best. Real game changers. These songs needed a genuine home. And hey, no more waiting on others. If I believe in it, do it.” 

Fast, and a whole lot of freaking fun, “Big American Car” is one hell of a musical ride.
