about

"Wristwatch’s Tightly Wound Garage Punk LP III Hits Hard • Madison's Wristwatch play a sharp-edged, high-strung form of garage punk, like the Buzzcocks meet Dark Thoughts. The vocals are theatrically forceful and piercing in a way that reminds me of Jay Reatard, and the band's nervous-tension barrage brims with the mechanical intensity of a post-punk band without losing its fiery humanity. It's all tightly wound in a way that does indeed make me think of the gears in a clock, except these ones spin so fast that they constantly seem on the verge of spiraling out of control. I'm not sure any artist will ever displace MJ Lenderman in eliciting a Pavlovian musical response to the word wristwatch, but I sure am glad Rick in our Discord posted about these guys today. I suspect you'll be glad too when you listen below." • Chris DeVille - Stereogum

"Wristwatch are back after three years, and this isn’t a comeback—it’s a hit squad kicking the door off its hinges, still perfectly oiled. "III", the third full-length from Booby Hussy fronted four-piece and the first recorded by the full live band with outside engineer—heavy-duty Beau Sorenson behind the desk—shows a band that’s sharpened every edge, ratcheting up the danger. The tracks push relentlessly, raw garage-punk fire crashing into cold, jagged post-punk nerves. The bass prowls and lunges, guitars slash and drift into weird corners, and the drums hit with a tight, half-machine, half-animal precision. And I’m relieved I’m not losing it—those dramatic and histrionic vocals unapologetically recall his majesty Jay Reatard—holy shit! The sense of total lockstep is undeniable: four guys sharing the same fatal idea, pushing the whole thing to its absolute limits and enjoying every second of the strain. This is how Wristwatch sound—completely unchained, fully plugged in, and absolutely alive." • Tremendo Garaje

"Madison punk lifer Bobby Hussy fronts Wristwatch, and their new album III is some scrappy and at times harrowing garage punk recorded with the great Beau Sorenson." • Evan Minsker - See/Saw

“Wristwatch return with Hints, a quick blast of post punk energy that wastes no time getting its point across. In just over two minutes, the song grabs hold and doesn’t let go, as guitars scrape and growl, locking into tight, repetitive patterns while the rhythm section pushes ahead with jittery confidence. There’s urgency baked into every part, each element pulling just enough to make the release feel earned. The song is tense, restless, and alive. Taken from III on No Coast Recordings, Hints shows Wristwatch at their most dialed-in, presenting the band's fast, memorable garage-punk stripped down to its most energized core. It’s Midwest energy channeled straight into forward motion.” • ZR - Destroy//Exist
