WET PAINT 'Save The Whale'
released in the UK on 18/02/2008
on Trial & Error Recordings

…Wet Paint make music governed by a simple premise - whatever you do, make sure that it’s LOUD! Their surging guitars, irreverent lyrics and deceptively simple melodies are all driven by the same slacker-passion that spurts from the likes of Pavement, Dinosaur Jr and Pixies.
Wet Paint are ready to rock your socks off!

It all began when three fifths of the band Absentee decided to be more productive between 6:30 and 11pm on Monday evenings. Side-stepping their familiar roles, Babak took up the mic and found his scream, Laurie hung up his bass and picked up a squealing axe, whilst Melinda discarded her melodica for a pair of thunderous drum sticks. After a few evenings of noise-making it became clear that throbbing bass lines would complete this raucous sound. In stepped James, of the exceptional Economy Wolf, and the Wet Paint line-up was complete.
Their bold versatility leaves no room for boredom, with honest and unfettered vocals tightly wrapped in a thick blanket of raw and relentless riffola. Songs of childhood obsessive crushes “that will always last”, in the anthemic ‘Bad Education’, crash into adult anxieties of being left all alone in ‘By Myself’ - “if everyone could only get along”.
Wet Paint can do lots of stuff and it’s always good!

After just a few months of existence this East-London troupe have been gigging extensively and recorded "Save The Whale", now to be released as an amazing single on Trial & Error.
On the B side, Lightspeed Champion gives a beautiful lo-fi rendition on the song.

Wet Paint are now ready to get into the studio to make an entire album in just four days!
They're setting out to conquer the hearts of those of us who love to turn up our stereos and dance... possibly on our own.
All we know is Wet Paint moves so quickly it’ll never dry.
