Wesley & the Boys Rock & Roll Ruined My Life LP
Coming out of Nashville with a natural cool and a penchant for clever titles, WESLEY & THE BOYS lay down some first-wave-tinted garage boogie on their debut foot-long. There’s plenty of fun to be had within these eleven energetic tracks, with relatable themes like being an asshole and being in the car. With their sooty rock swing and punky take on classic R&B grooves, I can’t help but be reminded of the VIBRATORS all over the place here, which is some divine inspiration. Count WESLEY & co. among the sharpest of the modern-day sunglasses and stripes set.
