WOMPS - Live A Little Less / Dreams On Demand 7"

A month ago I discovered WOMPS and since then, I fell in love with their crazy garage rock with a pinch of grunge. Owen and Ewan return to the fray releasing their debut AA side 7" via Damnably Records, which was produced by Steve Albini.

Besides meet 'Live A Little Less', where they mention the Speedy Ortiz style together with FIDLAR and the first Yuck, with a lo-fi acute despair to the microphone with a pop sensibility to receive 'Dreams On Demand', which keeps the spirit of Cloud Nothings, but in a way more danceable than its parent, which is encouraging itself, insomuch they reach a punk sound with which it's easy to lose the head.

Fuzz Ghost - Fuzz Ghost EP

Griffin Washburn's project Fuzz Ghost accompanied by Mills Brown, Eli Perron and Luke Fedorko released a few days ago their eponymous debut EP. Based in Nashville, mostly known for country bands, these guys are proving a new wave is coming to the city, and this is not because Third Man Records has influenced them, nothing further away from reality.

The voice with an empty energy which starts 'Sandy Burn' is replaced quickly for a surf and garage ballad,  sounding as a slow motion version of Fidlar. Lo-fi instrumentation makes way to the heartbreaking lo-fi vocals on 'Lost Mind', which also is looking at the sky to sound harder than it has, thanks to the southern surf rock with a garage touch that they perform.

WOMPS

Once upon a time a Glaswegian band called Algernon Doll recorded records and played shows from 2010 to 2015. From it ashes WOMPS was born and as the dead band, Ewan Grant (guitars/vocals) and Owen Wicksted (drums) are playing together in a more powerful direction, as reflects 'Live A Little Less', their first official single after it publication as acoustic version, together with 'Downstairs' and 'Ritalin', their other two songs published in their bandcamp account. This single will be published as a double A-side 7", together with 'Dreams On Demand' in Damnably Records on September 18 and produced by Steve Albini.
