II is the second studio album by American rock band Fuzz, released on October 23, 2015, on In the Red Records. The album is the first to feature bass guitarist and vocalist Chad Ubovich.

Background and recording

Regarding the writing process for II, bass guitarist Chad Ubovich noted that it was a more collaborative process than the band members were used to: “We all kind of did something we’ve never done before, which was write together as a band. That was a first for all of us. Usually in our respective projects it’s all about writing on our own, and that process. This time we tried something definitely new."{{cite web |url= http://www.laweekly.com/music/heavy-rockers-fuzz-go-for-a-way-more-evil-sound-on-second-lp-6170586 |title=Heavy Rockers Fuzz Go For a "Way More Evil" Sound on Second LP |first=Artemis |last=Thomas-Hansard |work=laweekly.com |accessdate=18 November 2015}}
