Fuzzrider is a heavy rock and blues‑based trio from Greece, formed by guitarist and vocalist Jim (Lord 13), bassist Nikos Giannoulis, and drummer Brian Velentzas, also known as Captain Brian. Although the band members are active in the Athens rock scene, the group has strong ties to the island of Aegina, which became their creative base. Fuzzrider was established in 2021 on the island of Aegina by: Jim Lord (Lord 13, Madleaf) – guitars, vocals, Niko Giannouli (One Man Drop, Nochnoy Dozor) – bass, Brian Velentzas (Captain Brian) – drums. All three musicians had personal or musical connections to the island, which led them to use Aegina as their rehearsal and writing location. With support from local friends, the band secured a winter workspace where they could compose and rehearse. During the summer months, they built their own studio, known as Rancho Del Sol, which became the center of their recording and production activities. The band recorded their self‑titled debut album in January 2023 at Urbans Studio. The record draws heavily on rock ’n’ roll and blues‑driven influences, reflecting the trio’s background in Greek underground rock and stoner‑blues traditions. Before releasing their debut, Fuzzrider performed several shows on Aegina throughout 2022, building a local following. They officially presented their self‑titled album on 12 May 2023 at the historic An Club in Athens, one of the city’s most established venues for rock and alternative music.
