CategoryLouder Than War’s David Wells revisits The Waxing Captors album ‘Pleasure’, finding it to be a hidden gem that far more people should be aware of.
Louder Than War
This sentence should read 'The Waxing Captors are a fucking brilliant band, and I urge you to go and see them'. Because this sentence should've been written months ago, when the subject was in the same present tense as the opinion. Now there's no imploration, no imperative, no point in these paragraphs. There's just a sombre caveat: The Waxing Captors were a fucking brilliant band.
Repeat Fanzine
The Waxing Captors are back once more, and their new single is a blast. The Trip sees the band firmly back on Stylist territory, and does exactly what the title suggests – it’s a 1’56” thrill-ride, tongue firmly in cheek
B Side Music
You can tell from this record's very first chords that The Waxing Captors understand being in a band. That they've got it. Sounding like Richard Hell fronting early Adam and the Ants, they're a breathtaking, lunatic shambles of a band: a scratching screaming howling beautiful mess.
