The Fucking Wrath are releasing an EP on October 19th, followed by a full length next year, both provided by Tee Pee Records, having signed to the label back in July. It should be mandatory for these blokes to release material regularly, and now we have a guarantee. Jubilant, having signed with the label, T.F.W. have reason to fit right in, as asides from being heavy enough to deserve a place in any gathering, they have been playing with members of Ancestors for sometime, who have released two records via Tee Pee. Having grown up as human beings and musicians in the same locality, much porridge stirring has occurred amongst these folk over the years; I myself recall my first show with Ancestors, of course at the time we were Elder (still purveyors of a genealogical context). T.F.W. were indeed on the bill as was Craig Kasamis' other band, Ox vs. Thunderbird, who I also consider as having been an infinitely wonderful group. Another member of "Ox" was Matt Barks, now a member of Ancestors, having conducted a magnificent passing of the torch ceremony with yours truly this summer. It should be noted that Matt also plays for Franklin For Short, who also hail from Ventura. Bob's your uncle and I'm your fathers brother; be careful with that gene pool, Eugene! Both T.F.W and Ancestors will be touring the Pacific North West this Fall.
T.F.W have of course been kicking around the block for a while, notorious for indulging in quantities of shows, including nationwide tours, notably one journey with the legendary Glass & Ashes. The EP won't be their first release either, as Challenge The Throne, a spectacular label run by Ventura degenrates Matt Kelley and Dr. Nick Quintinilla, released the vinyl version of a T.F.W. record, Seasons Of Evil, in 2007. Challenge The Throne is also responsible for providing us with Tweak Bird and Battletorn releases. So there's already a bunch to be heard from T.F.W., and with two impending releases from "the Wrath", I recommend a serious intrigue. Here's just a little extract from their bio, found on their website, of which is linked at the bottom of the post with some other relevant resources:
"...their songs are simultaneously heavy and fast, while cleverly infused with slower, droned-down riffs and sudden time changes... The band’s sound can be described as an amalgamation of groups such as Discharge, Black Flag, The Melvins and Kill ‘em All-era Metallica."
