Wet Nuns

Finally; a rock band thats modern, edgy, and not compromising anything. 'Wet Nuns' (who also have a name everyone can enjoy as well as making awesome music) are on to something. This fantastic duo are creating the kind of rock music you just don't hear much of any more; it's raw, like it's been stripped to the bones. and it sounds so good. They aren't attempting to overshadow their music with anything too creative or experimental, it's just plain good.
Plus, the other thing I love about this new band, is they aren't afraid of doing anything too controversial. Their video for 'Heavens Below' (which is quickly becoming my new fave song), when watching, feels so wrong, yet in all the right ways. It's a little blasphemous, and theirs a pigs head and cutting meat involved. None of these things should be okay yet they somehow are. I think what makes it enjoyable to watch and listen to is that they've done something a little different from other rock bands. Other rock bands could do these things... but make the mistake of doing it in a serious manner. From watching the video you can tell that, while Wet Nuns seem raw and controversial, they aren't being wholly serious, or taking themselves too seriously. It's satirical, and enjoyable.
While Heavens Below is a firm fave, I also enjoy their other songs such as 'All the Young Girls' and 'Don't Wanna See Your Face No More'. This band is moving on to bigger and better things and i'm excited to see an album release. They're going on tour this February/March and unfortunatly I can't go to their gigs this time round as they aren't coming to Cardiff, but I can imaging they're insane live, so hopefully the oppertunity to see them live will arise soon. Wet Nuns are truly rock at it's finest in 2012.
