Moose Wrench are here with another solicited treasure. Luckily, they are hiding all this in their backyard, for we have another treat to gorge on. This is their latest EP, and it has a rocking echo to it that will fill the hangars and halls of the world. This one is called Not Dead Yet.
Sure, there could have been any poem that Moose Wrench could have begun this escapade with. However, they go at it with Dylan Thomas, and the narration might be a distraction. As you marvel at the poetic flow of the leaden words, Directionless Twat has already begun vibrating. As “rage” loops over, you’re in the midst of the rocking riff that has to kick off the festivities. The band doesn’t hold back, creating a pastry of shred and hard rock soul. They decide to go prog-rock this time, and you’ll be following through the entire time. Vocals are like a grizzly bear’s whisper, and bring all the potential energy to level the ground.
In all the revelations of rock
Ginnel Dick has big boots to fill. After that opening song, you’ll be craving more. More is what Moose Wrench give you. The FX heavy guitar opens up the gates to a rock rhapsody that lasts a perfect length. There is a punk residue in this song that maintains that speed and tenacity that the band’s execution is known for.
If that had left a taste of gunpowder in your mouth, then the psychedelic aura here should change it all. You’re subjected to a tangy, sweet flavour with Don’t Let Me Down. You can hear all of this be delivered to you as a musical, and that might bring some strain of reality with this music. The band must have torn down the studio wallpaper to bring some real daylight and neon lamps to work with. This is a result unlike any of their prior releases, while showing their listener’s that they must prepare to be on their toes. Moose Wrench want to adjust the groove to some different sizes, and they are one size fits all.
Leaning into the mania
Not Dead Yet goes punk, and if you’re counting, I’ll help you out. The band has shown a spectrum of about 4 different sub-genres in the 4 songs they have performed. All have been worth enjoying for how exciting the essence is. Dingleberry Fyn is just something of a treat for being a good little listener. Here, you get to lose your shit, and the song supports it to the max.
Their 2021 album Dead Stars is worth listening to just to enjoy the beautiful textures this band can produce. They are performing delicate ballet with dynamite, and to us it all looks great. This EP would be great for Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998). The Guy Ritchie directed movie needs something of this calibre to be perceived as the mishmash of eccentricity it is. Listen to the songs above and follow Moose Wrench for more!
