Oh u liek rawk’n’roll? Last day of classes, I got some bands for you!

SPEEDY ORTIZ

Featuring Wes alum Dan Ferm ’12, this Northampton band is certifiably
blowin’ up. Poopfork recently big up’d not one, but two tracks off
their new 7″ and they also got nifty articles written about them in
Spin and on MTV.com. Next stop TRL, amirite? I’m not gonna say they
sound like Dinosaur Jr or the Breeders because, contrary to popular
belief, they’re not like totally in love with 90s. If having one bro
from Wesleyan on bass counts, then they are our school’s Next Big
Thing. Wisen up! Wesleying coverage here.

LAME DRIVERS

Lame Drivers have been truckin’ along for almost ten years now,
releasing dozens of songs on various CD-Rs and tapes. But very soon,
thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign, they’ll be releasing
their first official “LP,” which features production from Matt Tong
(Bloc Party). Also, got some fuzzed out garage-y Guided By Voice
vibes.

O PRESIDENTE

Hometown bros just tryna make it big in the rap game. Possibly
(probably) their last show here at Wes. Come early (9:30 on the dot)
