(we will eventually have a cassette available for mailorder, though the band will have a tour edition with them at the above dates - Akron is canceled but everything else is ON)
Waste Man return with their first new material since 2021's 'One Day It'll All Be You'. After a move from New Orleans to NYC, the group reconvened at bassist Dylan Siegelman's home studio in Philadelphia to record three new songs. Waste Man's self-titled 2023 EP kicks off with the furious 1-2 punch of "Luck Merchant" and "Changes" - a mirage of punk, noise rock, and avant-independent r'n'r sounds colliding. The six-minute plus jam, "White Horse", winds things down with a boiling, jagged rhythm featuring Sean McGuinness (Pissed Jeans) on auxiliary percussion. Whether this is just a perfect standalone EP, or a preview of something greater down the line - Waste Man yet again embrace an outside-the-box approach, existing in a space where few others dare to venture.
