Happy New Year everyone and welcome to 2020, let's hope there's as much great music released as there was in 2019 (and let's hope the mainstream start picking up on some of it!).
It's only right to begin the 20's with a song from a 12" that will be released in a week or so so. It's by a 3 piece post-punk band from Portland, Oregon who's line up is Moffett (Guitar/vox), Ursula (Drums/vox) and Leona (Bass/vox). They're called Mr. Wrong (https://www.facebook.com/mrwrongband/) and I could have sworn I featured them on here a couple of years ago when they released their Babes In Boyland album but I can't find that update anywhere so I must have just played a track from it on the show. Not to worry they feature today.
The new album is titled Create A Place and it's out on the 12th of January on Water Wing Records. You can preorder it on vinyl and digital (plus check out a couple of songs) here : https://mrwrongwitches.bandcamp.com/album/create-a-place-2
This is the opening track, it's a catchy post-punk ear worm that reminds me in places of The B-52s. Lyrics are political (with your landslides and your borders and your new world order...) it's a funky joy with a serious message. It's called Nuclear Generation...
Seen them a few times this year. Last time was w/ Nots. Some members of Era Bleak/Piss Test and Collate were there in the audience. Good show, went by quick. Going to their record release on 1/11/20 @ Black Water in PDX.
