This Summit Fever - UK Fuzz Rock Duo Announce Self-Titled Album & Release New Video For "Hooks"


UK fuzz rock duo This Summit Fever is gearing up for the release of their self-titled debut album, due out on April 4, 2025, via Majestic Mountain Records. Packed with colossal riffs, thunderous grooves, and raw, unfiltered energy, the album defies the limits of a two-piece lineup and is poised to make a major impact on the stoner rock scene, living up to the high expectations surrounding the band.

"We may be a two-piece, but we’ll shake the ground like a five-piece." Says drummer Jim McSorley.

The first single, "Hooks", is out now, bringing a blues-inspired, octave-fuzz riff assault that channels the band’s high-energy sound. McSorley’s thunderous drumming and Blackburn’s raw vocal delivery make for a track that hits hard from the first note.


Originally formed as a lockdown project by guitarist/vocalist Andy Blackburn, This Summit Fever quickly evolved when drummer Jim McSorley joined forces. What started as home-recorded demos quickly became a full-fledged, high-impact fuzz rock machine, fueled by a love for massive riffs and driving rhythms.

BBC Introducing picked up their early demos, and soon, This Summit Fever was a live force to be reckoned with, hitting Bloodstock, Stoomfest, and Desertfest, and sharing stages with Raging Speedhorn and Margarita Witch Cult. Their two EPs—2021’s "Doubt" and 2023’s "Distraction Rituals"—laid the groundwork for their first full-length album, showcasing their raw, relentless energy.

March 30 – Leicester, Riff n Beers Fest
April 11 – Wolverhampton, Dive (Album Launch)
April 12 – Bournemouth, Dorset Doomsday
April 16 – Manchester, Night and Day (Headline Show)
