Some Details...
Although Athens (USA) quartet WE VS THE SHARK are filled with a similar amount of noisy punk energy as PULLED APART BY HORSES, WE VS THE SHARK delve into a far more delicate and intricate sound which clearly draws from legendary acts like Fugazi and The Dismemberment Plan (who’s records they readily admit to being the foundations of the band). To understand the origins of WE VS THE SHARK’s melodic, arithmetic, spastic disco-punk and whirring art-damaged pop it's helpful to examine some other bands who have taken Ian McKaye's post-punk vision in a new direction such as; Q and Not U and Les Savy Fav, at their respective turning points. WE VS THE SHARK are the kind of band that will make you want to be in a band for more than just sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.
