Wack is a Psych-Dance Rock group from Vancouver, Canada. Rodo, Michael, Marie, Eduardo, and Pasang tend to keep things dance-y and psychedelic sonically while simultaneously exploring themes of emotional vulnerability, systemic imbalance, and mind-altering states. Their diverse backgrounds; Nepal, Brazil, Mexico, Indigenous Canada, Ukraine, and Canada; bring a unique perspective to the music they create. While Wack’s experimental nature is often on display – they know how to rock. Their live shows are an infectious, high-energy experience that will have you dancing throughout.
On their new single, “Nepallah-lahs,” Wack proves they are far more than the average rock band. Their nuanced fusion work doesn’t jump out at you; it moves through you, starting in your ear and traveling down to your feet, and before you know it, you’re engulfed in it all. The searing guitar tones are greeted with jangly drum patterns, while the vocals have free range to showcase Wack’s acrobatic vocalist. Their subtle approach comes off as humble, but a new layer is unearthed with every listen. The dense instrumentation leaves just enough cracks for each element to shine as if storm clouds are breaking apart to reveal a blistering sun and blue skies. Just when you think the song is winding down, a warping guitar solo kicks in to close out the danceable, artsy anthem. Wack’s “Nepallah-Lahs” is a breath of refreshing indie rock with sprinkles of garage rock and lo-fi blending together for a proper introduction to an exciting young band.
