Now we're talkin'! Part punk, and when I say punk I mean 60's punk; part Jonathan Richman and a sprinkling of surf and you have three piece Wet Heave from Bloomington, Indiana. This combo offers up a 12 track tape which, best I can figure, is from 2015 and from start to finish is engaging and refreshing.
Why you ask? Well, I'll tell you. Because everything sounds
familiar yet different. They borrow but don't steal. Right out of the gate with
"PWH" you hear the combined influences which are the foundation of a
new sound which is unique and pure Warm Shrimp. Other highlights include
"Russian Girl," "Psycho" and "Rubber Room."
For those so inclined, the tape comes with a download card so you
can take your 'Shrimp anywhere. Don't dismiss this perc lightly because if
you're like me, you'll want to listen to this repeatedly. The tape otherwise is
packaged in your standard Norelco plastic case with J-card.
Sadly, it appears Wet Heave is no more. According to their
Facebook page they have moved on but we can cling to this fine outing and only
hope they somehow find it in themselves to regroup at some juncture for another
recording session. It's burger time indeed...highly recommended.
