Art for Spastics: AFS v. 187 ~ Wax Museums on Tour!

The Wax Museums hit the road this week on their first westward tour, beginning Thursday, August 7 in their hometown of Denton, Texas, with the official record release party for their new debut LP. They'll be teaming up with NoBunny in Tucson at their third stop, making this tour a certain TermBro-pleaser. Tonight, we will hear one from everything they've put out so far just so you know that YES!, fun and funny punk can carry an album! (Just like the times that bands such as Angry Samoans and Head achieved it!) For awhile there, the kids seemed to be racing Mr. Blank Dog for the title of quality/quantity quotient kings, but the blizzard of 7"es subsided early this year. The Magnet 7" is arriving in mailboxes this week, marking the first WM EP of 2008. (And it's the band's weirdest!) It's a perfect little appetizer! Check out the band's video and tour schedule down below the playlist...
