Good old punk goodness. Wasson!? Completely flips the script when it comes to modern recording etiquette. Championing a charming lo-fi and DIY ethos, The Cornwall-based rockers manage to deliver a single that’s raw, gritty and just very authentic, a slice of fuzzy matter that completely takes the listeners by surprise. We appreciate it, perhaps not everyone will like the lo-fi character in it, but it’s nice to have a break from the modern obsession with polished sounds.
‘Shoulder to Shoulder’ is the product of such artistry, also functioning as Wasson!?’s debut effort. It works: the track is balanced, punchy and hard-hitting, favouring fast-paced drum grooves and multiple guitar tones. Even in such a chaotic sonic landscape, the group manages to find considerable space for meaningful lyricism and relatable melodies.
Delving deeper into the inspiration behind the song, Wasson!? unveil a nuanced and deep reflection on loss and life in general. As they explain: “‘Shoulder to Shoulder tackles the poignant issue of brotherly love and loss.” Look out for an upcoming album, expected in 2024.
