Hello From The Radio Wasteland!

Fist pumping, hip shaking, swagger inducing, and yes, completely gorgeous - Seattle Rock and Roll dynasty The Whore Moans have been slanging their tight, soulful brand of scuzz rock since 2005. The Whore Moans newest release on Mt. Fuji Records is titled "Hello from the Radio Wasteland!" Recorded in glorious analog by producer Johnny Sangster, (The Posies, Mud Honey, The Briefs,) the album moves the group into new and exciting territory. Refusing to be boring, the record is a meditation on the strange musical landscape one find crackling on the midnight radio. The songs on Wasteland move and twist like an expansive interstate, touching on Nuggets-era garage, Specter-style pop, and jean jacket adorned metal. Starting with a vaudevillian sales pitch for a cure-all serum in "Nerve Tonic!" and landing on a searing snapshot of the American landscape with "Here Comes America," the album moves through themes of consumerism, comic books, love lost, love lived, and hard living, "Hello From the Radio Wasteland!" is an obsession with a continuously redefined pop culture. The Whore Moans new record is immediate and engaging, much like the culture that spawned it.  more
