Overview:

Fonzie is from Portugal and has been a punk rock phenomenon since 1996, and we think that they're destined to break more hearts here with their driving guitars, melody-filled hookks, and hip-shaking style.

After making a big name for themselves by winning the Millencolin Cover Contest, the four ladykillers of Fonzie give you Built To Rock, a refreshing, earnest debut that is sure to impress fans of Millencolin, Midtown, The Ataris, Blink-182, Mr.T.Experience, and Weezer. Songs like "February 30", "Drive My Vespa To The Movies", "Yeah", and "Rock My Heart" will leave you and your sweetheart wanting to llisten to this one over and over again.

Fonzie also continues to pprove that the punk rock community is a global one, with recording taking place in Sweden at Studio Underground with Pelle Saether (No Fun At All, Satanic Surfers, 59 Times The Pain). Also assisting with vocal duties on "Imac Girl" was Sweden's No Fun At All-frontman, Ingemar Jansson. With recordings like these, and those from Canadian favorites Belvedere and Deville, the American punk rock scene is going to keep getting more diverse and international if we have anything to do with it. Frankly, we just can't wait.

With already extensive touring in Portugal and parts of Western Europe under their belts, Fonzie is aching to take on North America. They'll finally get their chance this fall in Canada and additional dates in the US. Get ready. cu Fonzie's gonna rock your heart.

For fans of Millencolin, Midtown, The Ataris, Blink-182, Mr.T.Experience, and Weezer.
