Meaner and mightier, Wristwatch returns with the followup to their oft-sold-out debut self-titled LP! Aptly titled II, the upcoming album features a more nuanced collection of songs than the first...with a heavier focus on varying the tempos, moods and songwriting. There's even a ballad! NEVER FEAR all you punk rock aficionados/snobs!!!! II still stays true to Wristwatch's signature sound: A hyper kinetic and disfigured backbone chock full of mutated punk rock vertebrates, with searing guitar leads as the cartilage and cacophonous electronic drums as the brittle joints holding the whole thing together. A year of playing shows around the Midwest really morphed the band's DNA quite a bit...with Tyler Spatz's bass playing truly coming to the forefront over the top of Bobby Hussy's signature yowl and guitar mangling on tracks like the leadoff, Rules and punk-pop morsel Sweet Tooth. Have a good look...it only gets gnarlier from here on out. Press for the debut Wristwatch album: Cool Band - HENRY ROLLINS www.kcrw.com/music/shows/henry-rollins/kcrw-broadcast-666 Got a new one from an RSTB fave, Bobby Hussy, today. Hussy's new group Wristwatch finds its jagged sneer from the very first moments of their eponymous new LP. Screwed leaps onto the speakers with a venous guitar chewing at the brain with no mercy. The bile burn and bone crunch of the track is pushed by the chaotic snap of electronic drums and synths that ride skirt the fray with dark intentions. The song brings to mind the burnt wire bliss of Angry Angles or Mind Spiders, with tethers reaching back to Screamers territory as well. Fans of Bobby's catalog (The Hussy, Cave Curse, Fire Heads) should be more than satisfied with the burn that Wristwatch is laying down. The new LP is out July 23rd from FDH Records. - Raven Sings The Blues www.ravensingstheblues.com/wristwatch-screwed/
