The Waldos

Maine may seem too dull and cold for great talent. Sure, makes sense... unless you've lived in Maine your whole life and have had any interest in music whatsoever. I'm that kind of unfortunate soul and I am also one that has learned that with any state - any country for that matter, there are people listening to music and being influenced heavily on that sound (especially with all this help from the interwebbing software you are currently fondling with). That's why it comes to no surprise to me when I see that Maine is capable of having just as many types of music than any other place (just not as many at times). From rap to country, electronic to noise, punk to folk punk, metal to ska, jazz to hardcore. You name it, we might have it. If not... someone'll come around and do it here and realize they are in the wrong Portland and leave.

The Waldos are Maine's tempo changing on a dime - guitars bursting into flames from too much awesome - drumming that makes you wish you never attended all those years of lessons (with that really hairy fat guy in his stinky basement) and just do what you wanted type of band.

The Waldos - Sludged Out Fish Logic (2011)

Seeing these guys play is always an experience, especially this fresh in their careers. These guys, to me, seem like a very self destructive band that I recommend anyone with a taste for math-like progressive and experimental music go see because I honest don't know how long we've got until they become a long lost legend. Soon everyone will be saying, "where's The Waldos?" (that was bad. I apologize).
