WRATHS – WRATHS
$10.50
Straight from the noxious refinery air of sunny, smoggy El Segundo, CA, skate punk veteran Jim Lindberg of Pennywise and his band of cohorts bring us their newest project WRATHS. Channeling the ghosts of punk’s past, WRATHS combines the dark guitar driven tones of T.S.O.L and Dag Nasty and the glaring sun bleached angst of the Descendents and Circle Jerks. Their no bullshit sound puts them right at home next to a faded SST sticker on a rusty strand cruiser. The band which includes Steve McCall (1208) on guitar, Chris Kranes (1208, The Darlings) on bass, and Andrew Murphy (The Darlings) on drums set out to pay homage to the heroes of the 1st and 2nd wave, not only in song craft but in recording. Tracked over just a few days with minimal production at Screaming Leopard Studios in Hermosa Beach you can here echoes of Black Flag and Big Drill Car coming through the grooves but the band definitely has their own unique sound and approach. It’s raw and real, something that is sorely lacking in today’s over-produced sea of cookie cutter soundscapes.
