Like, the one in every big \ncity with the snarky reviews and doom-y articles about local politics. \nWe were hanging out post-dinner one night and she thought it would be \ninteresting to listen to some of their picks for Best Local Music. One \nof them was this band called Waveless. We clicked on a link, plugged in \nthe Bluetooth speaker and out came \"Nausea\". It sounded like it was \nrecorded in a warehouse, a similar sound to the first Hüsker Dü 7-inch, \n\"Statues b\/w Amusement\". (I like to force comparisons with artists from \nthe same city. It's fun and totally unfair. Also, it probably wasn’t \nrecorded in a warehouse.) Even more than early, early Hüsker Dü, it \nreminded me of the great heyday of New Zealand noise-pop in the late 80s\n and early 90s. The big, rainy, echoed sound of Bailter Space and other \nbands on the Flying Nun record label. Shranging guitars with male and \nfemale voices floating in the din.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfont face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003e\n\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003eWaveless trigger a lot of nostalgia for me but I don’t think anyone \ncould have hit these chords quite like this 30 years ago. The guitar is \nin a unique tuning, and the drums pound in such a way that you don’t \nhear much beyond \"heavy\" music. They are definitely of their time and, \nbecause of that, somehow, I don’t think many people have processed how \ngreat they are just yet. Although youngsters continue to gravitate to \nthe sounds of the 90s,, the bands that embody the best aspects of the \nera often go under-appreciated.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfont face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003e\n\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Times New Roman\"\u003eI downloaded (purchased!) this EP immediately from Bandcamp and have \nlistened to it regularly since, more than any other new music. I am not \nsure why this record wasn’t released on vinyl (or even CD... they did \nself-release it on cassette but I refuse to count that).Their second EP \ndid make it to vinyl recently and it’s every bit as good (or better!?) \nthan this baby. Weirdly, it’s on a label that seems to specialize in 80s\n style hardcore. Waveless are lovely though.
