Hailing from Massachusetts, Wasp Mother is a four piece grindcore band that is preparing for an assault to the ears on the masses with their EP, Digital Pollution (January 19th).
After the release of their EP, Self-Loathing, the band joined forces with Jenny Mac on vocals along with Kevin Sigourney on guitar and vocals, George on drums, and Pete on bass. Recorded by Pete Walsh, mixing and mastering of Digital Pollution fell into the lap of Erol Ulug.
On Digital Pollution, Kevin says,
“Digital Pollution is a tongue-in-cheek jab at the modern idea of artists as content creators with each successive work being left behind as new content fills the void of malaise. With the digitization of art, the constant flow of social media feeds and the twenty-four-second-news-cycle our appetites and attention span for media has become insatiable in a way where the meaning of the art we’re viewing is being lost in a sea of likes, comments, the all-knowing algorithm. Spiraling through depressive doom-scrolling while trying to climb the fettered ladder between streaming movies, tv shows, audio books and videogames Digital Pollution found itself contrived amongst classic literature, real world pain, and the horrors of history. This is our way of saying, ‘Shut the fuck up and listen, this is bigger than us, this is bigger than you.’ Stop and smell the fucking garbage.”
Barely clocking in at over ten minutes,it’s an absolutely delightful aural assault hammering blast beats, booming bass, shrilling guitars, and brutal vocals.
Digital Pollution is fast, furious, feral, violate, and brutal.
Digital Pollution will be out on January 19th
