Los Angeles-based alternative artist, Fuller will release his debut EP Crush Me on September 25. (pre-order). Today Buzzbands LA debuted the official video for “Yr So Retro” from the forthcoming release. About the song Buzzbands LA says, “Fuller sounds like the marriage of punk-rock and indie, with touches of ’80s pop. Yr So Retro” captures much of the sounds and effects the ’80s are known for, including reverb vocals, strong guitar leads and synth chords. The chorus feels like an anthem and the outro is “big,” so to speak — in a good way. This track feels like something you would hear in Guitar Hero, where everyone is singing along as you nail every note.” “Yr So Retro” will be available on Friday on all streaming platforms.
Last month Fuller shared the EP’s title track with PopMatters and the song is available now on all streaming platforms to add to your favorite playlists. “Crush Me” enlists a driving bass line and soaring hook to explore the excitement and anticipation surrounding a life away from the safety of a traditional career. About the song, Welsh says, “‘Crush Me’ is a song about running head first into life. It’s about not fearing failure, because never trying would be the biggest failure of all. Live your life. Have fun. Don’t take yourself to seriously, ya know?”
Fuller is the single vision of John Patrick Welsh. On his forthcoming release, he merges a lifelong diet of post-punk, alt pop, and indie rock. The result is clever songs packed with tongue-in-cheek musings on love, loss, and the condition of the modern millennial – all in a decisively addicting package.

In a close brush with a life consumed by legalese and copy machines, Welsh narrowly avoided law school and began his artistic pursuits in Austin, TX.  After a few years playing with bands in countless Lonestar-fueled live shows (and sharing the stage with indie darlings the likes of Ramesh (Voxtrot), Swimming With Bears, Go Fever), Welsh started writing and recording the songs that would become the beginnings of Fuller.

After moving to Los Angeles at the start of 2019, he began work with Eric Palmquist (Half-Alive, Tate McRae & Bad Suns) on Crush Me. In March he released the EP’s first single, “Favorite Poison.” The track was a viral success on TikTok, received over 200,000 plays on streaming platforms and was featured in heavy rotation on specialty radio. Delving into the depths of a romance fated for failure and carried by an optimistic energy, “Favorite Poison” skips the heartbreak and jumps into the joyous ignorance of youth and reckless infatuation.
