Teenage Dreams and Divine Wonders
Posted on 17. Jul, 2008 by Brad in Music | Twitter: @bradhart |
I was first introduced to Wipers this morning from Carrie Brownstein’s Top 5 Driving Song list featured on NPR. As I listed to their featured song, Taking Too Long, off the Youth of America album I was captivated immediately. This was music that took me back to my original musical awakening the early eighties. I thought this is what the Go-Go’s would have sounded like if they were guys. Just when I thought I had found a new band with raspy but youthful vocals producing new music, i was heartbroken. Wipers released Youth of America in 1981. I was pleased that my ear said this sounds like early eighties new wave punk. Yet I am still a little sad to be on a quest for new bands with that sound.
You can hear Taking Too Long and the rest of the fine list at NPR and more from Carrie on her blog.
