UK Fuzz Rock duo This Summit Fever is gearing up for the release of their self-titled debut album, due out on April 04, 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.
