soundsxp wiaiwya-7777777 singles review

"the Wave Pictures at their most winsome. ‘Salt’ is bitter like dark chocolate, with an intense flavour highlighted by intricate picking"

"The Werewandas... is a joyous mess of surf guitar and sounds like Wanda Jackson singing the Batman theme"

bandcamp, downloads, and individual singles

yup, the debut Werewandas single is out today, Tuesday 7th Feb 2012, either digitally, or on glorious violet vinyl... an ideal present for your loved one, or indeed ANYONE... subscriptions are of course still available, just click on the BUY NOW link up at the top of the page... splendid...

the Werewandas are a five pieve combo of Fujiyama Mamas and Papas who gleefully massacre rock and roll standards as well as their own original western bop confections, withing they were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and ending up as a lo-fi, garage pop Everley Sisters. Predictably the Werewandas also love Wanda Jackson

Balloons

the BALLOONS have just been ordered for sending out with the second batch of singles... i've never had my own balloons before...
