WIVES (Dean Allen Spunt - vocals/guitar Randy Randall - guitars and Jeremy Villalobos - drums) is a young and charismatic trio that seems to have revitalized the L.A. underground overnight. Despite the fact that WIVES sounds more akin to sneering cynical noisemeisters Shellac, Lightning Bolt and Born Against, the band's earnest energy and charm is much more reminiscent of DC punk legends Minor Threat. Yes, that's a bold statement, for sure. But, anyone that has seen WIVES live will concur -- there's an inherent and intangible infectiousness to its personality that can inspire and revitalize hardened music fans. Wives' influences straddle the past and the present while diving headfirst into the future. Combined influential nods and musical elements of past greats like Rapeman, Bastro, Girls Vs Boys, Black Flag and the Minutemen are mixed with the contemporary likeness of Lightning Bolt, The Locust, Arab On Radar, or even early Black Dice -- all seen through an early 80's Dischord filter via Government Issue, Teen Idles or Skewbald. The comparison is not only in sound, but also in aesthetic. One of a handful of truly re-vitalizing new punk bands from the USA at this moment in time.
