"Generation Gap"
Lots of travel and, maybe, a lack of motivation over the last few months have resulted in a CoolDad Music inbox that is just unmanageable at this point. So, looking for some inspiration and a fresh start on Friday, I put out a request for "stuff" that I'd move to the top of the posting schedule (to the extent that there even is a schedule, which there isn't). I said I'd take the first seven responses and filled that quota in short order.
Our good friend Brian Erickson (The Paper Jets, "One More with Brian Erickson," and sometimes contributor to You Don't Know Jersey and here) forwarded not his own stuff but, instead, the latest video from Philadelphia DIY punks, WAX WAV. WAX WAV are Nick Palmer, Justin Johnson, Abe Koffenberger, Andrew Krause, and Lynna Stancato. They got together in 2016 and released their debut, EP1, late last year.
Back in February, they put out the video for single "Generation Gap."
The song is big pop punk featuring a wall of sound and guitar tones that recall WAX WAV's Philly paisanos, Beach Slang, along with all of the influences (Jawbreaker, The Replacements) that feed that sound. The Chris Johnson-directed video is a frantic live performance that's exactly what you'd hope for given the high-energy track.
You can grab EP1 over at WAX WAV's Bandcamp page. The band play goodnight/goodluck's EP release show at Philly's Boot & Saddle on May 12th along with Secret American.
Thanks, Brian.
More "stuff" later this week.
