Faz Waltz songs are often aired on the Natiolan US Radio Sirius Xm during the program The Underground Garage”, created by Stevie Van Zandt (Bruce Springsteen E Street Band), also thanks to the popular Dj Rodney Bingenheimer, known to be the first to help increasing the fame of bands like The Ramones, Blondie, Sex Pistols, Joan Jett, Guns N’ Roses etc…
In fact, Rodney wanted to see Faz Waltz live in Los Angeles (his hometown) when they toured USA in 2019, playing the last gig at Punk Rock Bowling festival with The Hives, Rancid, The Specials, Descendents, The Damned, The Undertones and many more.
Not only, there are more famous Faz Waltz fans, like Lars Frederiksen from Rancid who collects all their records;
and members of the Boston band Dropkick Murphys, that specifically expressed the desire to get Faz Waltz as the only opening act at their show in Pisa, Italy in 2015.
“If Rodney Bingenheimer embraces a group they’re going to make it big. There is no doubt these guys are keeping rock and roll music alive” - Pow Magazine (USA)
“Great lead vocals and teenage rebellious lyrics make this an absolute fun record to listen to.” - American Oi (USA)
“The strenght of this disc is its sense of fun and umpretentiousness” - Shindig! Magazine (UK)
“Boogie popwerpop for growing big bushy sideburns to.” - Mojo Magazine (UK)
“Young Italians Faz Waltz, gleefully recreating the music of terrifying old English pubs” - Alex Pedridis, The Guardian (UK)
“Faz La Rocca really knows how to write songs, all catchy as hell.
Brilliant guitar work, a strong rhythm section and great songs with plenty of hooks and sing-a-long choruses.” - RatBoy 69 (FR)
“On The Ball it’s a swinging party record that makes you dance and smile for 10 songs, to only let you catch your breath at final track, a surprising ballad. The tunes are still solid and catchy, the vocals gritty and awesome, the guitar riffs powerful and functional, the honky-tonk piano a valuable and cool addition.”
