Unwound
Perhaps the most musically abrasive group in the world of indie-rock, Unwound specialize in a dense collection of crushing power chords rising to feedback, melding the noise of Sonic Youth's more raucous passages with a rare energetic flair which rivals even that of Fugazi. Formed in 1991 in a small town close to the indie-rock nerve center of Olympia, Washington, Unwound was originally a trio of vocalist/guitarist Justin Trosper, bassist Vern Rumsey and drummer Brandt Sandeno.

The first album from Unwound in three years finds them naturally having spent more time refining their musicianship in the studio. Their style has grown toward more ambitious playing.

There are instrumental pieces that will surprise you, and sing-alongs that will woo you. Guest musicians include Steve Fisk, Janet Weiss, and Brandt Sandeno. The double CD is beautifully packaged and features videos [ read more ]

There are many off-kilter descriptions of UNWOUND giving references to a D.C. sound or to SONIC YOUTH. They aren't a hardcore band but play hardcore shows; they aren't an art rock band but this is definitely art.

Taking their punk heritage from the Buzzcocks, Unwound write grinding, but tuneful songs. Most tracks rumble with a wandering bass while guitar fuzz coats the works.
