White Wives are at odds to point out this is far from a Anti-Flag side project despite the presence of members Chris “#2” Barker and Chris Head. instead their inspiration comes for the mid-60’s Provo movement which relied on humor and nonviolence to provoke a violent reaction.
Indeed the tracks showcased so far show White Wives, completed by Roger Harvey of Dandelion Snow and Tyler Kweder of American Armada, showcase a summery reflective sound aiming to soak into the listeners mind rather than knock him on the head.
Sonically it is an interesting trip back to 90’s indie and alternative rock with it’s driving melodies and uncharacteristically idealistic message.
Check out the video the band shot on the road for ‘Another City For A New Weekend‘ using just an Iphone.
The album ‘Happeners‘ is out now on Adeline Records
