Description
New EP from this band out of Charlottesville, VA.
Our take: Debut vinyl from this band out of Charlottesville, Virginia, whose demo tape we carried a while back. You hear little about bands from Charlottesville (though there are a few, and Wild Rose share a drummer with Richmonds Fried Egg), but I love great bands from smaller scenes. You can always tell theyre doing it for the right reasons, and they often have a left of center sound that isnt as common among bands from major metropolitan areas, who (in my experience at least), often hew closer to an established formula. Wild Rose is a case in point, as their amped-up punk songs arent quitehardcore, theyre shot through with walking bass lines and classic rock-inspired riffage, and their singer cant really sing but belts it out with an intensity and conviction that you cant help but love. As on their earlier tape, theres something about Wild Roses music that reminds me of the Descendents Milo Goes to College album, but I cant put my finger on what that is. Maybe its the melodic bass? Regardless, give this a spin if youre into under the radar punk that ignores the big city rulebook.
