Ears Wide Open: Teenage Wrist

Love it when side projects turn out like this. The debut EP from Teenage Wrist roars with the dense tenacity of ’90s shoegazers and their safer-for-radio alt-rock brethren. “Dazed,” which came out May 19, is the work of Colorado transplants Marshall Gallagher (Swing Hero, Solar Bear) and Kamtin Mohager (Chain Gang Of 1974), along with Anthony Salazar. The likes of Chapterhouse and Swervedriver come to mind during the likes of “Afterglow” and “Slide Away,” and if you’re looking for one of those chirpy “songs of the summer,” then “Summer” is most definitely not it. Thankfully.

Amazing new band! The name of the other Colorado transplant is Marshall Gallagher.
Argh! Apologies to Marshall, his family, friends, supporters, bandmates and distortion pedals for my silly editing mistake. It has been fixed.
I wouldn’t want this faux nu gaze, I want hits, not unlike this one right here https://m.soundcloud.com/paradise-records-1/gem-sugar-high
Oh, a troll. I will approve this comment anyway so anybody who reads this can see 1) what a troll does, and 2) the relative mundane nature of the song you sent along.
I wish these guys were doing a show tonight, looking for a show and Saturday’s current lineup is yawning.
