Country: USAGenre: Post punk, noise rock, indie
Label: Latest Flame
This came as a pleasant surprise for me. After being impressed by other Latest Flame alum such as Mustangs & Madras (RIP) and Hitch (RIP), I wanted to hear more from what the label had to offer. Overall verdict: I was not let down!!! Waxeater come blazing out of the stables dishing out a large helping of noisy post-punk/hardcore that seems to come from different areas of influence. Definitely on the Midwestern side of things ala Chicago, I hear influences ranging from bands such as Shellac. Add to this a dose of Hot Snakes and possibly Drive Like Jehu, and I think you can begin to see where Waxeater are going with their sound. Couple this with great tempo changes, rhythmic driven bass, and an ominous roughness that completes the package. At times Waxeater seem to just have fun rocking out and having a good time. This is what makes Sleeper an infectious listen that begs for your attention! Great effort Guys! Highly Recommended!

I have been waiting to hear this.
Awesome release. Hitch is amazing too.
Can you post the Mustangs and Madras LP on Latest Flame?
good work Chris! ;)
That's a pretty good review. Built On A Weak Spot wrote this up last month, and had a lot of the same great things to say.
