Info: 'Warm Water' is the first release from newly-established punk trio Mob Wife. Comprising Chris Leckey (PigsAsPeople, Via: Barvikha), Mark McDaid (Gascan Ruckus) and Carl Small (Ghost Office), their first single is an immediate blistering introduction to the newly formed band. Warm Water is characteristic Leckey. Blackly comic in its nihilism, the song is a statement on that much-sought-after 9-5 office grind and its many delights - stale coffee & bright, vibrant, blinding computer screens – delivered via Belfast’s finest scream.
Cranking up the dynamic tension between melody and discordance, Mob Wife take the propulsive rhythmic interplay of classic post-hardcore outfits like Drive Like Jehu and At The Drive-In with the contrasting sensitivity & immediacy of modern outfits like Metz, Pile and Meat Wave.
'Warm Water' was recorded at Start Together Studios and produced by Chris Ryan. Artwork by Billy Woods.
Helluh yeah! Now his is a hard static mince I can get on board with. 'Warm Water' from Belfast's Mob Wife is like an orchestra of chaos, with the vocals acting like the conductor which directs the guitars and drums, demanding restraint and then anarchy and back again. "Send roses to your masters, send pictures to your lovers, get paid, go home, pass out." - a lovely summation of the robotic behaviour of the drone who denies themselves pleasure in order to slavishly offer it up to others, without ever asking themself, "Why?". 'Warm Water' is one of those wonderfully rare first times you hear a single, and you want the next one straight away.
Mob Wife make their live debut at the Hand Models Summer Party on the 30th of August at Limelight 2, with further Irish dates to be announced for the coming months.
