The Prozacs - Wishing & Waiting



  The Prozacs are back with a new album, their 5th studio lp and the first since 2017's Exist. It's titled Ambivalence and if you're familiar with the band you'll have a good idea of what to expect. It's the usual repast of well written, heartfelt punk. Jay's been doing this for long enough now that composing quality songs is probably second nature to him, it certainly sounds that way. A harder task is no doubt ploughing on year after year as punk music remains outside of the mainstream and talented band members move on and need replacing (I notice several new faces on this release). It takes a love of the genre to carry on for so long so it's great to report that the album is a winner. It's available on vinyl, cd and digital download from Outloud! Records and the band's Bandcamp page :   https://theprozacs.bandcamp.com/

  You may remember The Ripper and Outta My Face (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2018/06/the-prozacs-outta-my-face.html) from last years split single with Marko And The Bruisers. The other 9 songs on the album match them for quality. The one I'm featuring today is the longest track and sees Jay longing for something more than the daily grind. Admitting he needs to spend more "us time" having fun in the sun with the woman he loves it's straight from his heart and it's called Wishing & Waiting...
