Search - A Wilhelm Scream :: Benefits of Thinking Out Loud

Since forming in 1993, A Wilhelm Scream has cascaded onto a scene desperately in need of a new sound and vision. Drawing influences from several directions, A Wilhelm Scream has deciphered the code to open the door for a new brand of powerful punk rock. While often compared to punk rock visionaries Propaghandi and Hot Water Music, A Wilhelm Scream?s style reinvents itself with every chord, making the listener hold their breath and wonder what?s next. A Wilhelm Scream has five different releases over the eight years they?ve been together. The latest, "Benefits Of Thinking Out Loud," takes us into their own world of confusion, angst, sorrow, loss, disillusionment, and of course, alcohol. The band?s approach to writing their songs is complex, involving layers upon layers of punk sensibility turned upside down and inside out, coated with metal alloy, and then driven into your skull with a chisel and hammer. And that?s just the opening chord of the album. Ouch! On the lighter side of the spectrum is the band?s ability to communicate with their audience through approachable lyrical content. They take pure emotions and shrivel them up in their own brand of narcotic sensationalism. A Wilhelm Scream?s live show backs up their stereophonic dominance; only the sound in this case is in your face and pounding your head on a steel-spiked table. The band ignites the crowd with their raucous style and vigor, leaving them overwhelmed and still wanting more. The band has been on five East Coast tours in the past twp years, and is only going to go even further with this, their best effort to date.
