Whinge Album Launch Party
Sat 8th Feb 2025

//////////////////////////////////////
A meeting of 4 jaded old friends from the underbelly of the NW music scene, Whinge began as a cathartic outlet & an attempt to press pause on the unrelenting passage of time.
Fuelled by nihilism & a playful eye for self-deprecation, one pub conversation too many saw their myriad of musical backgrounds meet their unpredictable approach to life, with the end result: ‘Whinge'. Like the best bands; more a gang than a group.
Post-punk informed DIY garage-rock played with gay abandon, Whinge live shows veer from intense & frenetic to creeping & sardonic.
Over to Crackedankles Records:
"We knew the members of Whinge by sight from our local venue The Ferret where, it would seem, at least one of Whinge was in at any given time. Their debut gig was a kaleidoscope of conflict & charm that was intimidating & hilarious in equal measures. But underneath the chaos were really memorable, witty & well crafted songs portraying a unique palette of influences & the best front person we'd seen in years."
WHINGE - SOMETHING'S NOT QUITE RIGHT
Debut album coming Feb 2025:
Whinge's debut album 'Something's Not Quite Right' is released on strictly limited edition vinyl & CD on Crackedankles Records, who have previously released Hotwax, Thank, Evil Blizzard, King Gizzard ATLW, TV Face, Hauspoints, Dead Things and more.
Preceded by the 7" single 'I Think I Found A Lump' - out in Jan - the album is released 7th February 2025.
As DIY as it comes, these first full length recordings were done in drummer Matt's mum's garage. "These sound great - I can't wait to hear you record them properly" the label said.
"These are proper. This is it".
Don't argue with Whinge.
Something's not quite right.
