Wristwatch

***Wristwatch returns with their first album in 3 years! Aptly titled III, it is the first Wristwatch release to feature all 4 members of the live band on record! This is also the first time the band has had an outside engineer come into the fold. The band chose Beau Sorenson (Bob Mould, Superchunk, Taylor Swift) to engineer and mix the sessions. Additional recording was done at frontman Bobby Hussy's home studio. The result is the most powerful and commanding album the band has made thus far. This is Wristwatch at peak power. Tight, in your face and full of all the chaos the band's live shows are known for. Tyler Spatz's frenetic bass lines come through front and center while guitarist Ben Dederich's lead lines take the band into spacey post-punk territory. Snappy and precise rhythms from drummer Eric Hartz perfectly encapsulate the original drum machine tracks and bring new life to these songs. Bobby Hussy's exuberant and over the top vocals are the cherry on top. "Hints" distills the band's raw Midwest energy into two and a half minutes of tense, buzzing post-punk. Driven by gritty guitar tones and sharp unrelenting rhythms, the track teeters between urgency and restraint—a cathartic release wrapped in tight sonic control. It's a standout cut from III that showcases the band's knack for channeling restless emotion into minimalist electrified momentum. This is punk rock for the new school.
