Wussy has been recommended to me for years but I never got around to checking them out until they came to Chapel Hill this summer. When I saw them it made me wonder why I'd waited so long. To my ears, Attica! is up there with Lydia Loveless' Somewhere Else as my favorite album of 2014 with Israel Nash's Rain Plans also vying for a spot. Before seeing them live, a friend of mine sent me a clip of "Teenage Wasteland" from this KEXP performance. I've posted about this band (and record) in the New Music Recommendations thread (same for Israel Nash) but I'm guessing folks must not check that thread very often.
I don't know what thread it was in, but your posts about Wussy are what inspired me to check them out.

Thanks. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I entered this year not really picking up many of the albums I'd like to due to tight funds but in so doing, still stumbled upon stuff like Wussy, Israel Nash, etc. that I found irresistible. Courtney Barnett is next. Really love this song. She's yet another KEXP discovery.
If you haven't listened yet, check out their latest World Cafe Live appearance. It's funny to also hear NPR say 'the infamous Wagon Wheel song, now made popular by Darius Rucker'. (Come again??)

I did hear that from NPR! I think OCMS is probably Ruckers biggest fan

You just don't hear a lot of a capella on this site. Time to shake things up. Dudes put on a great live show, too (or at least they did, i have no idea what or if they're up to these days).
What used to be is gone and what ought to be ought not to be so hard
btw, while i'm sharing songs from this wonderful record, here's an absolutely, devastatingly beautiful song: the interplay between the acoustic and electric guitars just about rips my tear ducts wide open.

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Amazing song, amazing record.
We call him Scooby Do, but Scooby doesn’t do. Scooby, is not involved
I'm sure this has been mentioned before but Steve Gerlach is a good friend of our very own StevieRay. At least he was some years back.
I think it came up when Neff left and we were all spitballing replacements. I thought Gerlach's guitar chops would take the band to new places. Total pipe dream of course.
And I knew when I woke up Rock N Roll would be here forever
