Last week the Fuzz Factory had a new special feature, Real People & Fictional Characters. As the title says, the songs were about or inspired by real people or fictional characters. Frequent listeners should expect that with a feature such as this, the spectrum of genres is a bit expanded beyond the usual big tent of hard rock/guitar rock. However, there was still plenty of melodic noise coming through.
