Hardrock,Funk.
Probably better remembered for their artwork than for the sheer dynamite of their music, Nutz
were three ridiculously underachieving albums into their career when
local Radio Trent captured them live, one evening in March 1977. But
Tightened Up remains the sound of a band that was so close to breaking
through that there were times when you could taste it. Blistering rock
on funky backdrops, and pushing a serious prog intent into the kind of
territory that Queen once toyed with, Nutz
were one of the hottest bands around in the years before punk rock rose
to sweep their generation to oblivion, and they retained those energies
for a while afterwards.
