Say ZuZu is an Americana rock band from New Hampshire. Originally formed in 1991, Say ZuZu recorded and released nine full-length albums before disbanding in 2003 and reuniting in 2019. The band’s first release on Strolling Bones Records is Here Again: A Retrospective (1994-2002) and includes highlights from the group’s five studio albums recorded during its touring heyday. A new studio record from the band is scheduled for release in 2023 on Strolling Bones Records.
“For those who haven't met our music before, these are highlights from five records released between 1994-2002. The songs focus on the large internal lives of people in small mill towns like ours. This record also chronicles a decade of growth from a fiercely independent, self-produced New Hampshire band that flew under the radar during the heyday of the 1990s alt-country movement. The title of the record, Here Again, is inspired by a song from our 1994 self-titled record. We've always sought to write songs that hold up, personal songs that are durable and can stand on their own in a variety of arrangements. "Here Again" is one of those songs. It's also a fitting title for a record that's an opening salvo from a recently reunited band with its first new studio record forthcoming in 2023.”

"One night, as a newly single guy, the Say ZuZu boys tried to cheer me up by taking me out to Bowl-a-Rama. We joked that I might meet someone while bowling. At the time, I was driving a Toyota Tercel that my sister sold me for $1. It had serious muffler problems. The last verse is a direct personal confession. Originally, I envisioned this song with a “You Don’t Know How It Feels” meets “Out On The Weekend” arrangement. Instead, it turned into a classic Say ZuZu drop-D guitar fest." - Cliff Murphy
lyrics
Got a busted beat-up muffler,
You can hear it coming when I start it up
Before I head home to rest a while before going out again.
I hang my head and hope that she might
Look my way and think I’m all right,
But all I want is to find a good girl before going home.
Sometimes I get so scared that I just
Can’t stop talking to save my life
But other times I get so scared I can’t say a word.
The need for love can sometimes drive you
To go on out and search to find it
But the need for love can sometimes drive you down for a while.
The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
