The time to put Repeat on repeat is now! The debut LP from Seattle’s mighty Wimps is out today on vinyl / digital, an occasion fittingly marked with yet another mp3 from the record. This one comes in the form of “Stop Having Fun,” a declarative march toward a collective lack of sentiment that premiered earlier today via The Stranger. In addition to the cessation of fun, Repeat is a full 24 minutes of brash singalong anthems about other asocial activities such as quitting your job, escaping small talk, and just plain being grumpy are all here, stamped with the upfront Wimps sound.
In addition to a release party tonight at Linda’s (DJs 9pm-midnight), Wimps will play a proper release show at Black Lodge this Saturday, 1/26 with the Trashies, Stickers, Big Eyes, and Loud Eyes.
