Let’s Wrestle – In Loving Memory Of…

As I mentioned in a previous post, this band played with Vivian Girls about a week after I first listened to them so i’m still yet to see them play live, hopefully i’ll get around to it soon! The only way I can really describe Let’s Wrestle is the closest British equivalent to the slacker rock of bands like Pavement and Nada Surf. Seriously, these guys really do not sound like they give a shit. That’s all part of the charm though because there’s something incredibly appealing about this EP despite the frequently bleak lyrics. There’s a sense of melancholy that runs through this that gives it a really emotive quality and when they sing “Music is my girlfriend, and i’d do anything for her” you’re somehow forced into believing it.
