After a month long break, I am happy to back in the Fuzz Factory. 2013 is here. Winter Break has ended. The halls of SCAD-Atlanta are filled again. I’ve met all my new students. I am ready to work, and have fun while doing it, I hope they are too.

Before moving fully into 2013, I decided the Fuzz factory ought to do a year end special. It’s something I planned to do for a while, however, this is the first year I actually made it happen. This Fuzz Factory featured great music from the best rock & roll releases of 2012.  As usual, paring down the playlist to two hours was not easy because there was so much good 2012 music to choose from.

So check out these songs and artists when you have the chance. It’s all comes highly recommended from me.  If you like what you see, listen to the show every Thursday from 8-10 (EST). If you like what you see and hear – go tell somebody. I want 2013 to be even better than last year!

So without any more delay – here is the Fuzz Factory Best of 2012 playlist.
