In The Moment: WACO

WACO are a quartet of lads from this beautiful land we know as the UK and in their own words they make songs about "great times, great loss and Great Britain." The first thing you should know about them is that one listen is all it takes to get you hooked, so don't listen to them unless you're prepared for a long term commitment. The second thing you should know is that they're party starters. It's not just their music that makes you want to jump around like a human-possessed, it's their all round presence and enthusiasm for the music they make. Sound wise, it sounds like rock/punk/party magic with a hint of old school nostalgia and they intertwine such a sound with conversation about real and honest things like the fact no one really knows what they're doing with their life (Agitation) and that ultimately all we do is our best (Dungeness). What's more, the video for latest single, Wrangler, is utterly bonkers in it's compelling psychedelic madness. It's this wonderful recipe, as well as having a frontman who looks a little like Hollywood heartthrob Matthew McConaughey (just a little, maybe it's the jawline), that make WACO ones to party with and ones to tell your friends about.
