From the womb of bands like the Slits, the Raincoats and X-Ray Spex (favorites of Nate Tapedeck’s) arises modern day post-punk bands like Wetdog; covered in afterbirth and ready to spit in someone’s face. But honestly this band rejuvenates female lead post-punk with a modern flair. After putting out a series of 7-inches and one full-length, the band is prepped to release their new record in just a few days (Nov. 30) titled Frauhaus! and out on Angular Recording Corporation. You can pre-order the CD or the “heavy weight transparent yellow vinyl” here.
