A Sane Scream
Weekly "this artist keeps me sane" had been postponed until now, thanks to my unhealthy addiction to a certain video game. Sorry guys, I'll try my best to keep this blog alive.
This week it's delivered to Massachusetts punk band A Wilhelm Scream. One of the first punk bands I ever really got into years back, I hadn't really listened to them often until seeing them recently at Soundwave 2010. Seeing their zany, energetic stage antics shed new light on their music and what it's about: fun. Possibly one of the most professional and tight bands in the business, each member flawlessly portrays mastery of their respective instruments whilst still retaining a playful "anti-despair" mood about their music. These five musicians present a style of punk rock that instrumentally is heavily technical and melodic, and lyrically is dripping with wit, satire, metaphors and cynical statements. These five musicians present a style of punk rock with thought and substance beyond the crazy, energetic facade.
