WiMP! are a new four-piece from Rockford featuring members of Mulligan Stu, Mono In Stereo, and High School Pizza. WiMP! is the latest addition to the ever expanding roster of Rum Bar Records, and while they are a logical fit, they are a departure of prime quality meat-and-potatoes rock-‘n’-roll and power pop for which Rum Bar has built a sturdy reputation.
Black Sheep, which is the first WiMP! album, is straightup pop punk, and here is what it has in common with most Rum Bar releases, it is easy to like and comes with a honest heartland heartbeat. Black Sheep reignites your fondness for pop punk. WiMP! lets songwriting and execution ride shotgun whereas originality isn’t even an afterthought. Songs like Set You Free and Yesterday brings out everything that is great about pop punk. Uncomplicated, catchy harmonies, zero wasted seconds, I’m digging this one!
Black Sheep is out now on CD.
