bedsitter23Milky Wimpshake is a band from Newcastle UK that has been around two decades now. Their music blends the genres of lo-fi punk (the original drummer's name was Mrs. Joey Ramone), the C86 sound, and the kind of twee pop you would expect from the likes of Talulah Gosh and Belle & Sebastian.
Making music in those genres, you would think i would have discovered them by now.
The self-deprecating lyrics will endear them to a certain crowd. The blend of music actually makes me think first of all The Wedding Present (maybe singer Pete Dale is a bit David Gedge-ish) and then maybe unexpectedly, the Buzzcocks's first recordings; before conjuring images of artists more in line with what they are doing like Daniel Johnston and Billy Childish (who've they both covered).
They have a new limited edition album called Heart and Soul in the Milky Way as well as a large selection of songs on their website.
