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)

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
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 Claw Marks American
If I had to pick the best part of being a member of the Wired Wrong team, it's all the new bands John has turned me onto and ones I've found combing for new music. Last Friday through text, John inadvertently gave me a list of new shit I needed to hear, and every band … Continue reading An Interview with Claw Marks American
PUP – Morbid Stuff
This is my third review for this prestigious publication, and I swear I will eventually review an album about which I'm not super enthusiastic. Today's not that day, however, as we're talking about the new record by PUP, Morbid Stuff. Morbid Stuff is the first record they've put out since 2016, and I missed them … Continue reading PUP – Morbid Stuff
Andrew Bird – My Finest Work Yet
I've been told to listen to Andrew Bird countless times. I've heard a few things here and there and never disliked him, but never got fully invested. So when perusing the new releases on Spotify to see if there was anything I would want to try instead of the usual, I clicked on what I … Continue reading Andrew Bird – My Finest Work Yet
Keep an Eye on San Jose’s Dylan Thomas. (Interview)
This is a piece largely based on ignorance. My Ignorance. But don’t break away just yet. Because I’m here to tell you about a razor-sharp post-punk/dream pop/noise-pop band from San Jose, Costa Rica called Dylan Thomas. (A period at the end of “Thomas” is part of the name). If you google them you will likely … Continue reading Keep an Eye on San Jose’s Dylan Thomas. (Interview)
The Twilight Sad – IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME
A cleverly titled record. For all the hype, we are left wanting more. I’ve followed The Twilight Sad fairly obsessively since a friend burned a copy of their debut LP “Fourteen Autumns, Fifteen Winters” for me in 2007. It was a breath of fresh air at the time. I didn’t have to ask where they hailed from. The thick accent vocalist James Graham crooned, … Continue reading The Twilight Sad – IT WON/T BE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME
