JWPP - Glass is Half Full

Ypsi's anthemic punk rock duo, JWPP, are known for raucous live shows...

...mad howls of empowering lyrics are hurriedly belted atop chopped riffs and rustling, slammed beats. These two shaggy gentleman ("Anonymous" and Jehan) bridge seminal 90's noise, to the raw valiance of 80's hardcore punk and tie it up with that almost-fist-pump-inviting, wild-eyed rile-up of classic rock n roll. loop and bend gnarled tones into whip-cracking hooks under squalls of fuzzy feedback and cathartic noisy scrapes

Once one appreciates the somewhat woolly nature of their signature sound (looping bent, gnarled tones into whip-cracking hooks under squalls of fuzzy feedback and cathartic noisy scrapes), one can see the unique challenge of capturing it onto a comprehensible recorded portrait...

...such was the task of Ypsi-producer(/songwriter) Brandon Wiard... and Glass Is Half Full displays the results. Side one is the keyed-up, cacophonous cuts while side two shows their, well - not exactly softer side, but certainly more melodic...Wiard's board work enhances their softer hues to display the full range of colors on the JWPP palette.
