The Fuss is a dynamic ska and rocksteady band from Washington, D.C. Their sound pays tribute to the music of 1960’s Jamaica and the British Mod scene, while putting modern slant on the timeless styles. The group showcases 3-part female harmonies and a 3-piece horn section. The Fuss’s lively vibe gets a crowd going, yet brings a smooth and steady groove.
For the first time, they’ll play brand new songs from their upcoming album, Together (October, 2026) on Jump Up Records.

“Dear PoPville,
I was hoping you might share posts like this – near the Quick Stop on 14th and Euclid I found (for once) someone’s important lost jewelry. The wedding ring looks like it’s been worn for many many years, but also looks like it’s been out on the ground for a while as it’s muddy from the recent storm.
I got it out of the rain and safe, it’s somewhat distinct in design so if the owner can reach out and describe it I’d be happy to return it to its owner.
Thanks!”
If you think it’s yours please email me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP.
Thanks to Claire for sending this classic – anyone know what make that is?
