In Orlando, they’ve long been one of the purest and best disciples of the form. They’re not one of these bands who’ve newly gilded their indie rock with grunge. For Gamma Waves, it’s their guiding thrust.
Moreover, singer-guitarist Brian Czompi, bassist Jeremy Czompi and drummer Dalton Bennett aren’t descendants of the more radio-ready side of grunge that gave rise to an entire generation of abysmal post-grunge commercial dreck.
Like Trash Cinema, Gamma Waves follow the true grunge gospel. They even tapped legendary Seattle producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden) to master their last two releases, for Kurt’s sake.
Gamma Waves recently released Sounds From Another World, their first full-length album in five years and the first one the band recorded on their own.
Rather than rewrite any rules, this new collection simply sharpens their heavy hatchet. It’s10 songs of hairy rock smeared with muddy blues and sludgy noise.
Sounds From Another World now streams everywhere and sits atop TLU’s Spotify playlist, and is available physically as a very limited cassette edition (50 copies).
