The Fuse

There are at least three bands called The Fuse. 1) A young upcoming band from London with some powerful pop/rock/indie tunes. 2) A trio of semi-anonymous -- they go by the designations F-1, F-2 and F-3 on stage -- and snappy-suit-wearing rockers from Los Angeles, and they bashed, yelped and squealed their way to lo-fi victory and a spot on In The Red's artist roster circa 2003. (Actually, their publicity material from the time made a big deal of their being from Downey, California, which was also home to the Carpenters, ho ho.
