PAST TENSE PRESENT TENSE

Between 2008-2013 WNPS documented short-lived bands worthy of replay.  Many of these tapes were never released to the public as members went on to other projects.  As these 4-track master tapes resurface, we will digitize + compile them here with downloadable links.  You can also listen via Youtube, with tracks listed.

WNPS09: pitcher of beer: the beer experience: are you experienced? C37

"First contribution from the "east coast" "chapter" of WNPS. Pitcher of Beer is already-been-drinking music, fuzzy cinder block rock and haggard vocal confrontations on such topics as haircuts, dark thoughts, and thinking. 12 tracks in eighteen minutes. Side B, The Beer Experience, is chopped down & condensed document of a show from September '09 at America, Baltimore's best shittiest place. Thought-blocking/tongue-schlocking sets from Nothingberry Plasma, AGhost, and Hog Song, with plenty of soundbites of kids talking about their balls and trying to bum cigs and whatever." $2, $4 ppd.

WNPS08: Breakfast #1

"keywords: white flight, extreme sports, western canon, rust belt, white guilt, superdome, seven eleven, liberal arts, sandbox, gaga wonderment, coming-of-age, gimme the loot, the idle rich, rope swing, i'm not looking for a new england, heart of darkness, things fall apart, intercourse (book), shotgun house, public housing, low barriers to entry, strong preference for urban environment, afro-caribbean paris, disaster opportunists" $2, $3 ppd.

WNPS07: fisher cat "urban renewal"

"More brainrotting speed and ill-calculated changeups from temporarily-hiatused crusaders. Thematically revolving around and between an acid-n-gators-in-the-park and trash-scored sweets dichotomy. Curing all of the old diseases while conjuring new ones focused on literary consciousness." 2$, 4$ ppd.

Touring southeast states in winter, check back for updates.

WNPS06: fisher cat "apocalypse"

"This is not a horror movie. This film does not compare well with horror movies. This is an action movie with zombies. It compares very well with other action movies. The bullets start flying and the zombies start chomping immediately. The script is hardly award winning. The actors are capable enough, and even if you find them stiff and generic, it's okay - most of them don't survive very long. Like warping into the thickest of the thick, a superheightened fray, Triangle Boyz vs. Midnight Crew clubbing you from sides you didn't even know you had." Listen to Dinosaur Apocalypse. 2$, 4$ppd

WNPS05: necro hippies "sore throat"

"Mad/rad/ad-ept krewe blowing snotrockets through the mires of Bourbon Street's deepest drains. Short, sweet, hard to beat. Keep peeling your eyes in anticipation of future vinyl release on Raw Sugar Records." 2$, 4$ ppd. BACK IN STOCK, NEW PACKAGING

WNPS04: fernys debriss "violet"/colouring "roygbiv"

"Fernys hands off a mouthful of St Bernard front stoop sunset laze while Chicity's Colouring compiles a few cave paintings and other remnants of a scrambled yesteryear." 2$, 4$ ppd TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
