Wax Heroes

Wax Heroes, from Treviso, Italy, managed to capture the sound of transition between punk and post-punk. The songs were based on guitars with a coarse grain reminiscent of the Crisis of Douglas P. and Tony Wakeford, while the atmosphere -thanks to a powerful and enveloping bass- echoed those of the inescapable Joy Division. The guys were good at building melodies and pressing rhythms, but they were above all able to write pieces of impact, some of which are anthemic ("Sorrow Remains", "Dog's Day", "Win By Losing") Another small but precious piece of the Italian post-punk mosaic.
