Wet Paint - It Rots

“Wet Paint write great songs and deliver honest and unfettered vocals tightly wrapped in a thick blanket of raw and relentless riffola”

It would be easy to liken Wet Paint’s bedraggled image and slacker aesthetic to the scene that once brought to
prominence bands such as Pavement and Dinosaur Jr. But being slack is one thing that the four members of Wet Paint cannot be accused of in their freshman year.

‘It Rots’ was predominantly recorded live in a two day session in a studio in Whitechapel, with Blue States main man Andy Dragazis, a work ethic inspired by the Michael Azzeraad book “Our Band Could Be Your Life” and by the gung ho manner in which Husker Du appeared to approach their work. Their bold versatility leaves no room for boredom, with honest and unfettered vocals tightly wrapped in a thick blanket of raw and relentless riffola. Songs of childhood obsessive crushes ‘that will always last’, in the anthemic ‘Bad Education’, crash into adult anxieties of being left all
alone in ‘By Myself’…
