Wet Illustrated - 1x1x1 By Steve McGillivray San Francisco trio Wet Illustrated are unleashing their debut album 1x1x1 upon the world. Originally starting life as a Television Personalities cover band, the trio are one of several garage/punk bands coming from west coast USA. Will they stand out from the crowd, or will they end up lost amongst the feedback and reverb of all the other bands? The garage credentials are certainly present on opener 'Pete Jogs Poodle'. There's lots of tape hiss, the vocal [...]

Wet Illustrated's "Gypsy Town" manages to do what so few up-beat bands can do these days: balance propulsive chirp with strong song-writing and a solid core of, well, something else. "Gypsy Town" kicks off with eager smiles and overwhelming hellos. The vocals bust in and all of sudden your rushing down Wet Illustrated River trying [...]

Given the unprecedented success garnered by the likes of Girls, DOM, Ariel Pink , Smith Westerns, the late Jay Reatard etc. of late, less can certainly be more, and this is a mentality that's indubitably been adopted by San Fran trio Wet Illustrated . Signed to Matador Records , their superficially ramshackle aesthetic has certainly found itself sheltered under the right roof yet where at first exposure their wiry, clanging guitars and scratched melodies may seem obvious and perhaps obnoxious, heartfelt intricacies gush through the tracklisting of 1x1x1. Ideally pronounced one by one by one, it seems [...]

If you look at them from a certain angle, the San Francisco trio Wet Illustrated fit right in with the analog-gear retro-garage boom that's happening in their city right now. After all, they're a sometimes-jangly, sometimes-riffy guitar-rock band who know their way around a chorus hook and who record on gear that sounds older than the actual dudes in the band. But Wet Illustrated also take a ton of cues from the artier, further-out edges of late-'70s British postpunk. There's a playful edge to this band; their riffs are jaunty, and their vocals edge toward the yippy more often than [...]
