EXCLAIM
Myles Deck and the Fuzz
Police Cops
By Keith Carman
Upbeat and gritty, compact yet explosive, Myles Deck and the Fuzz are a short, sharp blast of school garage meets pre-punk rock, as evidenced on this three-song single. From the title track's feel of controlled raucousness that the Hives always strive to prtray - and they'd probably grumble at not writing this tune first - to the Dead Boys/Stooges attack "Ayatollah" and "Boom! Boom!," tere is a distinct atmosphere of revelry that abounds. That said, where Myles Deck and the Fuzz are a lot of fun, they're not exactly reinventing the wheel. The songs are almost too uncomplicated. The same simplicity that makes the band a great soundtrack for the more casual moments in life also ensures that there isn't much of substance for, well, anything else. Still, we all need those vacuous times and Police Cops easily fills the void. (From Here To There).

Myles Deck and the Fuzz - Police Cops (From Here To There)
By Cheryl Stornelli
Sounds like: An updated version of punk rock
Why/Why Not: This punk rock band produces songs full of lyrical hooks embedded in rough, dirty melodies. When it comes to Halifax - born Myles Deck and the Fuzz, once you've hit play a couple of times, the band really start to grow on you.
Each song wastes no time with filler. From start to finish they're bursting with rusty vocals ad catchy chorses presented at a pace that will leave you screaming the lyrics at the highest decibels before you realize the song is over.
A trackto mention is definitely "Boom! Boom!" with which the band proves they can hook a listener for a full three-minute punk rock song without skipping to the next track out of boredom. Another is "Police Cops", which though it clocks in just shy of two-minutes, starts hard and catchy with no lack of luster. However, the repetitive screaming of "Police Cops" will tire quickly to some listeners.
If Myles Deck and the Fuzz can reproduce these songs live with as much energy and punch as they've recorded, they may just be onto something.
