When I find an album that hits me in the little teenage spot that still lives in my booze damaged and cholesterol addled heart, I get pretty fucking excited. And that's what we've got going on with the new record by The Ellie Badge, Horse Stories + Personal Fables. The shining blend of early 2000's … Continue reading The Ellie Badge – Horse Stories + Personal Fables
An interview with Brett Boland of Astronoid
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
An Interview w/ Cris Crude of Pg99/Pygmy Lush/Malady
"All Corpse Are Bastards" by Cris Crude If you look at punk rock linearly, starting with, say, The Velvet Underground or The Stooges and ending somewhere around whoever has the balls to call themselves punk in 2019 (I don't really need the headache of trying to puzzle that one out right now), an extremely pertinent … Continue reading An Interview w/ Cris Crude of Pg99/Pygmy Lush/Malady
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
Jeromes Dream Emerges Unblemished from a Time Capsule (Interview)
Jeromes Dream "LP", out July 19th on Microspy Evidence to support any band reforming and, as a whole, being worth a fuck after decades of inactivity is typically very slim. If there are any exceptions to that, save Connecticut's Jeromes Dream, to date, they escape me. JD have rolled the dice against the odds of … Continue reading Jeromes Dream Emerges Unblemished from a Time Capsule (Interview)
An Interview with Infant Island of Virginia
Infant Island LP. 2018 (Infant Island) Aside: I will avoid using the word “screamo” throughout this piece because, truthfully, it does no justice to the subject matter. The miserable realization that I should give up my search for anything closely approximating the feeling I got from hardcore punk bands of the 90's and early 2000's … Continue reading An Interview with Infant Island of Virginia
