Waingro - lll (New Full Album) Waingro is not just a crazy, terrible human for hire trying to make his life in L.A. as portrayed in the 1995 film Heat. It’s also the name of a crazy rock n' roll band who are making their way through the Canadian music scene and beyond with the release of their upcoming third album "III". Fueled by a passion for stoner rock and punk; Brian Sepanzyk (guitars/vocals), Benjie Nesdoly (drums) and Nate Pennell (bass/backing vocals) took the heaviness of hardcore, the groove from stoner rock and then added subtle desert rock highlights to work on what would come to be known as Waingro.
The experienced musicians have honed their craft in several other bands over the years, but it wasn’t until they formed Waingro that they were truly able to explore their talents in the abrasive desert rock band. Playing out of their skins here, Waingro’s brand of heavy rock is deliciously rough and tough. Fusing the dusty winds of the desert with a little bit of metal fire into a mostly fast and frantic album, III is an unforgettable listen. A lot of that can be laid at the feet of the guitar groove that really takes hold and pulls away at the neck muscles. There will be very few people not bouncing around when New Colony and Red Death come a-knockin. Although the latter of the two gets dirtier and dirtier as it reaches it climax.
Fear not, the feel-good groove isn’t gone as Bay Area Cult flings the riffs around with complete abandon all while the punky snarl of the vocals spray out. Third Veil is the first track to really take us down to the depths, reaching sludgier lows with that inimitable Waingro stoner style. It’s slower and way darker but bloody hell, is it good. So much so that when it abruptly ends and the pace quickens for Merrin, there’s just a little bit of disappointment. No need though as it is another banger, albeit one that has a little more chaos to its rawness. Marked Cross’ fuzzy riffing immediately snaps Waingro back into shape before a super clean guitar solo rings out as a reminder of just how damn rocking these guys are. A fiery finish is then matched by the sharpness of feedback and a hyperactive rhythm in Dead Calm.
