The [Wednesday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

I'll be there. Will you?

Happy 420 + 1. No better band to rip you out of your Friday haze and throw back into another than OOZING WOUND. The thrashing trio has celebrated the release of all three of their Thrill Jockey records right here with us and we've loved em every step of the way. The Wound makes the people go insane with their simultaneously hilarious and terrifying blend of heavy riffage, crushing rhythms and piercing screams. All three original OOZERs (welcome back, Kyle!) cut their teeth in some beloved local bands (CACAW, ZATH, UNMANNED SHIP, BAD DRUGS) and they're widely known around these parts to deliver one of the most brutal live shows in town. Get ready for the beatdown of your life.
