Wishgift

Wishgift is a Chicago trio. Reared in the basements and DIY spaces of the city, the band packs a frenetic energy in one concise package- a mix of Fitz of Depression and King Crimson compressed into a tiny room and then let free. The band is a presence. Perhaps a menace. They nearly never stop playing, consistently spreading their loud and distorted gospel all over Chicago and the greater MidWest. Look for them coming your way soon. Look for their Contraphonic 7" "Pretty Jenny/Cream Acres" now.

  Pretty Jenny / Cream Acres 7". CON 087. Released: 09/21/10
  Tracklisting: Pretty Jenny / Cream Acres

  The three-piece punk ensemble evokes a more angular Scared of Chaka or a greasy, proggy Husker Du, with some strangely felicitous blues riffs thrown in for good measure. COLUMBIA FREE TIMES
  
  ...Extremely energetic, rough-around-the-edges pop-metal, or would it me metal-tinged pop? Either way, Wishgift's music calls for the devil horns in the air. LOUDLOOPPRESS.COM
