about

San Francisco’s still doomed, and few residents can trace the fault-lines beneath with more familiarity than the members of WARP. With members’ musical origins in the Bay Area and beyond that include Mayyors, Flesh World, Residual Echoes, Mallard, Thee Oh Sees, Blank Square, Cruel Summer, and Straight Crimes (to name a few), the denizens of WARP manifest a sum total of decades spent seething in the once proud city by the bay; having helped shape the ‘San Francisco Sound’ of the new millennia, they are ready to tear it down. WARP recalls the nihilistic extravagance and rage of Flipper and No Trend with garage-y instrumental acumen a la Pissed Jeans and songwriting chops honed through hard fought years of jostling with techie slime, predatory landlords, the thuggish SFPD, and a mass exodus of friends, neighbors, and collaborators. In the midst of this hollowing out, WARP rose to fill the void and give voice to the defiant few who remained. Following their 2019 debut “Traffic Control,” lauded for its intensity and out-of-the-gates aggression, WARP’s latest offering is a guttural howl into the abyss, a defiant screech in the face of ennui and apathy that demands you get. fucking. pissed.
