Wah-Wah Punk

I like punk tunes with wanky but brief wah-wah solos. Some:

Let's Get Married - Celibate Rifles
covers of Murder By Guitar and Pissed On Another Planet - Vertigo
Here Comes Sickness - Mudhoney (not so wanky)

Kind of a late 80s/early 90s thing, I guess. Are there more? Plus also sorta punk w/ solos, like Birdman's Descent Into the Maelstrom.

WTF apos? Not usu a problem.

Any punk band in Mudhoney's day w/o wah pedals was shamed out of town.

Just think of all the horrible Amphetamine Reptile bands, for instance.

Also all the AWESOME AmRep bands like Halo of Flies

Singles Going Nowhere and Garbageburn are such fantastic albums.

Cosmic Psychos - Can't Come In

Psychos and HOF are on millions and millions of the money! Was just being lazy, waiting for people to member things for me. Plus more! I want tons more awesome shit like this that I haven't ever heard before.

If anyone wants to pay me $$$ for the first 4 HoF 7"s, let's talk.

ha

i mean, they have it on the internets

Dinosaur Jr - Yeah We Know, Little Fury Things (among others)

Deeno is OTM but rarely as punk as I want 'em to be. The one that opens in furious mid-solo on side 2 of LFT is aces tho. Think it's Tarpit, maybe In a Jar...

I guess all that Australian stuff fits, but the first one I pulled out Philisteins Bloody Convicts doesn't seem to wah wah, just do twisty fast picked leads. (maybe some of it is wah wah, what do I know)

The Prime Movers Matters of Time 1984 (throbbing lobster) sounds kind of like Pere Ubu singer with fast 60s punk band, then big loud fast guitar solo.

Wah-wah is the specific thing I was geeking on, but any kinda serious attention to ripping lead guitar work, solos in a punk context is okay. Esp when fast & concise, but still kinda wanky. Don't know much Philisteins. Have a Sympathy EP around somewhere with several tunes, including one AWESOME: "Dissatisfied". Bloody Convicts worth owning?

But generally YES. Totally in need also of non-wah punk solos.

(Also, stuff like Cynics' Blue Train Station LP, Tar Babies/Chesterfield Kings, Nomads has occurred to me since last I posted. Late 80s/early 90s garage = tons of this stuff.)

CYNICS!!!

Rock & Roll and 12 Flights up are also great.

I guess I specifically dig the wah thing cuz it's so unpunk to begin with, and so closely associated in my mind with that era (like, 86-93). Something Pavlovian I can't help but respond to.

i mean, they have it on the internets

They don't have the original, pristine artwork on the internets, nor do they have the original vinyl. You are probably listening to a horrible remaster and you will never get the true authentic HoF experience.

Numbered copies peoples.

as far as HOF goes, DDT Fin 13 rules this thread

Bloody Convicts worth owning?

Red Cross Born Innocent 1982 has some of the most un concise Wah-Wah soloing I can think of in punk.

Aussie wah-wah >>>>>>>>> USA wah-wah.

For the most part true. They went ape for it over there.

Aussies stayed closer to their MC5/Stooges roots during the anti-wah punk heyday, so when wah came back into fashion, they were already there.

Moral of this story: Fuck a britisher punk.

That wah wah riff that runs all the way though the Screaming Tree’s ‘Black Sun Morning’ f’n rules.

SLOW from BC ...

My first thought upon seeing this thread was Monoshock

MC5/Stooges roots

yeah, my first thought was "1969"
