Wilmette – “Anxious Body” (Mutant League Records)
Combining elements of pop-punk, power-pop, pop-core and
just about every music sub-genre that contains the words ‘pop’ and ‘punk,’
Wilmette delivers a unique and memorable sonic experience on their Mutant League
Records debut Anxious Body. Their raw
energy explodes through your speakers on the album’s opening title track,
before really rounding into form on the standout “Carol From HR,” a track sure
to conjure up memories of 2009 A Day to Remember circa Homesick. “Paul Rutt” is a similar blast of early-aught exuberance,
before “Where I Sleep” changes things up just a bit, embedding impassioned
screams into a true powerhouse of a track. Closer “Winter Stay” brings an air
of maturity to Anxious Body with
sharply penned bars and dynamo hooks. You’ve heard all the expressions – always
put your best foot forward, you only get one chance to make a first expression
and so on and so forth – consider all of those achievements unlocked with Anxious Body.
