Raised Wrong

Next in my series of semi recent Indecision Records releases is a 12" EP by a band called Raised Wrong. I'm not really sure whether this is a permanent band or a one off project, but no doubt that will become apparent in time.

First thing I really like about this is the 'basic' looking sleeve. I've always liked minimal designs, and the disco sleeve on this one looks great. But then I read on No Echo that they made this to look like an old Profile Records release. So there was a reason behind the design.

So this band features dudes from other bands who apparently came up with the idea for this band whilst playing the Indecision 30 year anniversary show in 2023. A year later and they recorded these songs. The band features John Pettibone (Undertow, Himsa) on vocals, Ryan Murphy (Undertow, Ensign) on drums, Ryan Donoghue (Ensign, Robot Whales) on guitar, and Dave Itow (Amendment 18, Berthold City) on bass.

Everything about this is great. John Pettibone rarely puts a foot wrong, so you know that if he's involved this is gonna be worth your time. Six songs that are around two minutes each, this could probably have been a 7", but then it wouldn't have looked quite as good in a smaller sleeve.
