The band Fozzy will never use their platform to spread political or social messages. That's according to lead singer Chris Jericho, who recently told Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez, "You have the wrong band if you're looking for those subject matters in our music. We do not ever, nor have we ever, been a political band . . . You don't really want that in your rock 'n' roll."
Jericho added, "I mentioned Rush earlier, Iron Maiden, Metallica, AC/DC — if I ever heard AC/DC talking about COVID, I would f**king be so sad."
Fozzy's mission is to provide entertainment and fun. Jericho explained, "There's a lot of issues in the world prior to COVID, during COVID, after COVID . . . I think when people come to a rock 'n' roll show, you don't really want that kind of pushed in your face. At least you don't want that at a Fozzy gig. I think what we do is provide a little bit of a diversion and an outlet to blow off some steam if those things or other things are bothering you in your life. I think that's a huge responsibility and I take it very seriously."
Fozzy will release a new album called Boombox on April 15th.
