No Pain In Pop

Pieces of a green bottle

WCW = William Carlos Williams, World Championship Wrestling, William Cody Watson. Whilst the opening pair have their respective merits, it is the latter who co-runs Bathetic Records - responsible for recent Jeans Wilder, A Gal and the Dawns tapes. Here are the latest Cough Cool and Nude Beach tracks, both from upcoming Bathetic releases, plus a missive fired from the debut album of WCW’s own Pink Priest project, due soon on the increasingly interesting La Station Radar label. I’m not quite sure who’s in what band - I think they all share members - but I’d like to think the whole thing can be traced back to a hulking collective-conscious lurking somewhere West Coast, drawn shy and speaking only in C20.

Abound another find courtesy of the ever outstanding Family Time.

Whilst their Deep Sht echoes and swells, it charms essentially as a pulse - Pink Priest is a more intense ride. The self revelance and dubby echo may have been cast shorn, but a gothic charm (not to mention the exceptional taste) remains. Out on the road, going north circular, interstate to interzone.
