Quick Hit: The Wayward

posted by Will

in Quick Hits

The Wayward’s Overexposure is a screamy clusterfuck of prog and math rock the likes of which I just have not been able to wrap my head around. These guys can certainly play their instruments but there is an air of psychedelic sloppiness the band wears on their sleeves with pride. Not really my bag but I can imagine people geeking on this band for sure. Overexposure was released on Magic Bullet Records.

    As Bud Light informs me, it’s all about drinkability. This apparently means watery and generally lacking in the flavor department.

    If The Wayward were a beer, they certainly would not be a Bud Light. They’d be something more along the lines of a Sierra Nevada: complex, flavorful, rewarding, but difficult not to make a face at when taking your first sip ever. Especially if your palate is accustomed to Bud Light.

    Once you acquire the taste, though, it’s certainly worth picking up every fourth or fifth six-pack or so.

    So visit your local convenience store and record shop and pick up a six pack of Sierra Nevada and a copy of Overexposure. Give flavor a chance.

    see, this is why you should still be writing on SAL.

    but, i’d have to disagree. i think the wayward would be a little less gayer of a beer.

    I know, I know. I’d dabble in my spare time, but someone jacked my password.

    Sierra Nevada is a little gay, I suppose, but I still like it. And it’s no more gay than a Michelob Light — with that butt plug shaped bottle and all.

    Lets just call them a Newcastle Brown. Everyone can hang with a Newcastle.

    but everyone can’t hang with the wayward!
