WARISH SHARE NEW SINGLE “WOVEN” | TOUR w/ BLACK LIPS ON NOW
RIDINGEASY RECORDS
Southern California trioย Warishย share a new single today to kick off East Coast tour dates with The Black Lips. The song, “Woven” is available on all platforms.
Warish hit the road this week supporting The Black Lips on the East Coast. Please see all upcoming dates below.
Imagine if early, weird Aberdeenย Nirvana were crossed with low budget horror-obsessedย garage-punks.ย You’d have sinister vibes with a visceral, twisted weirdness and bludgeoning riffs. Some might call it nightmarish, we call it Warish.
Warish is a very newly minted SoCal trio formed in early 2018 that has wasted no time making its presence known. The band formed when guitarist/vocalist and pro-skaterย Riley Hawkย (son of skating legend Tony Hawk) and drummer Nick (Broose)ย McDonnell decided they wanted to try their hand at something more distinct than they’d done previously.
DOWN IN FLAMES ALBUM REVIEW
“We wanted to do simpler riffs and a fun live show,” Riley explains. “A little more punk, a little bit of grunge… a little evil-ish.”
Their sound takes cues from a variety of cool underground sounds and twists it all into an energetic and exciting fist to the face of dark fury. Hawk’s effect-laden vocals hearken to 90s industrial monsters Ministryย and David Yow’s tortured caterwaul in Scratch Acid. The guitars are heavy and powerful, though decidedly not straightforward cookie cutter punk; more like Cobain’s and Buzz Osbourne’s wiry contortions. The rhythms bash and pummel right through it all with aggressive force ensuring that nothing gets overly complicated and the horrors keep coming throughout the band’s uh,ย warlikeย assault.
The band’s debut album Down In Flamesย is available on LP, CD and download, released on September 13th, 2019 via RidingEasy Records. Available to order in all formatsย HERE.
