LA natives, The Wrecks have taken the US by storm in the short 3 years they've been a band. Coming off of their summer tour with All Time Low, the release of "Panic Vertigo" has changed the game for them completely. Panic Vertigo is the band's first self-produced EP and it will be sure to carry the band into new, uncharted territory. Comprised of Nick Anderson, Aaron Kelley, Nick Schmidt, Westen Weiss, and Billy Nally, the band has no shortage of unique influences and plenty of personality.
Panic Vertigo features 5 tracks, each one better than the last. The EP has a very rock/indie vibe through and through. The first track, "Figure This Out," is the angsty pre-breakup anthem we've all been waiting for. Track two, "James Dean," tackles the ongoing debate of whether or not being all that or not is worth the stress. Because at the end of the day, the best thing to be, is geeky you. Following up "Figure This Out," is "Way With Words," which is the post-breakup, "Did you really want this and are you happy?" punk song that'll have you itching to break up with your significant other. (Well, maybe not, but still.)
The title track, "Panic Vertigo," is exactly as it sounds; a song for when you're feeling a little crazy, a little unbalanced, a little anxious, a little...not yourself. It lets you know you're not alone and you're perfectly fine being the panicky, anxious little bean that you are. Finally, the last track, "Revolution," leaves you wishing the EP went on and on. Pick up your pitchforks, let's start a revolution!
Whether you come for the good looks, stay for the music, or the fun times their live shows bring, The Wrecks are sure to offer something for everyone.
Be sure to catch them on their latest tour, Fry Your Brain With The Maine all April through May!
