NEWS: Wasp Mother pollute the airwaves?
Celebrating the release of their EP “Digital Pollution“, genre bending American Grindcore outfit Wasp Mother have shared a music video for for “Gravemouth“. If you’re yet to have the pleasure, the record is one that is finds the band throwing elements of Death Metal, Hardcore and Powerviolence into the blender to give us a collection that has the best of all Worlds…
Guitarist Kevin Sigourney comments: “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.”
