Picture by Mike Devivo (instagram) at Reggie's Chicago I was introduced to Astronoid a few months after my significant other saw them open for Zeal and Ardor, a show I was unfortunately out of town for. When their self-titled album dropped February of this year, we found ourselves playing it often. Their songs are melodic … Continue reading An interview with Brett Boland of Astronoid

Reflections of the Valedictorian (An Interview with Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes)
Frog Eyes' Final Testament "Live at the Moroccan Lounge" is available exclusively on their bandcamp If I were tasked to give you a "good place to start" with Canadian band Frog Eyes (or any of Carey Mercer's projects) I would flounder about and sputter and blurt out a stream of albums and songs that probably … Continue reading Reflections of the Valedictorian (An Interview with Carey Mercer of Frog Eyes)
5 Songs I’d Strip To That You Probably Won’t Hear in the Club
First things first, I’m a sex worker. By that I mean a freelancer in the adult entertainment industry, and more often than not this means stripping. I’ve been dancing a little over four years now after transitioning over from mostly online and fetish work, at this point I consider dance to be my primary hustle. … Continue reading 5 Songs I’d Strip To That You Probably Won’t Hear in the Club
Deli Girls-I Don’t Know How to Be Happy
Anger, while it can be ugly, can also be beautiful. It's cathartic, unleashing rage against the injustice of an uncaring world can be an amazing feeling. We need happy music, sure, we need music to uplift us and to make us smile, but we also need music to fucking wild out to. Deli Girls, from … Continue reading Deli Girls-I Don’t Know How to Be Happy
Flasher-Constant Image
So, yeah. This album is almost exactly a year old, so this is not a new music review, more like a "new music to me" review. I guess I first heard this album a year ago, but for whatever reason I dismissed it immediately as not for me and promptly forgot about it. Boy, was … Continue reading Flasher-Constant Image
The Armed – FT. FRANK TURNER
It's been a minute since I've posted a review or an interview here at WW, so I want to apologize out the gate. If I'm being honest, I have written, deleted, and re-written the first paragraph for this review quite a few times now, so let's just say I needed to take a knee, and … Continue reading The Armed – FT. FRANK TURNER
Shamefinger – Sorry Mom
I used to like punk rock. I'll get back to that point. The main point I want to get to, because it's relevant for two reasons, is this: I am an asshole. I often come off as likable in person, and after a few drinks I am loquacious and fun, but that generally starts to … Continue reading Shamefinger – Sorry Mom
An Interview with Protomartyr’s Alex Leonard
Protomartyr recently re-issued their debut LP "No Passion All Technique" on Domino I always tell people that assume I love music that they are sadly mistaken. I dislike, or just don't care at all about, the majority of music. It's very tacky. Even when it's almost good it's too effete and hackneyed for me to … Continue reading An Interview with Protomartyr’s Alex Leonard
An Interview with Head Ned of Okilly Dokilly
A little over a week ago, my band had the pleasure of opening up for metal outfit Okilly Dokilly. If you are not familiar with them, I honestly don't know how that's possible. They are the kings of Simpsons themed doom, dressed each as Ned Flanders, pioneers of “Nedal.” They are, as I learned at … Continue reading An Interview with Head Ned of Okilly Dokilly
An Interview with Pile’s Rick Maguire
Green and Gray, released today I’ve become a bit disenchanted with indie rock over the past couple of years. No need to go into my reasons but suffice to say that everything is just becoming a bit uninteresting and clonish. That’s why I find myself covering more and more hardcore and post-punk artists. Let’s face … Continue reading An Interview with Pile’s Rick Maguire
