Missing a little snot in your life? Wax Witches (punk project of Australian Alex Wall, also of Bleeding Knees Club) are putting out the snottiest of snot with noisy, California-style fuzz and rattle. Rumor has it Wall played every instrument on the debut album Celebrity Beatings, creating the kind of addictive, breakneck din I’ve been missing. Scooped together from bits and pieces of late 80s, early 90s detritus, Wax Witches stick out on the Burger Records roster, but the album is currently providing me with my daily dose of brat.
Even the vids look like something salvaged from the Lookout! Records basement. The new one, ”Alone,” is the kind of 90s nostalgia I can get behind.
