Info
The band formed in 2011 cannot boast about an extra rich
history but it has an appetite to produce a true grindcore. You can mainly find
the influence of legends like NAPALM DEATH, NASUM, LOCK UP, BRUTAL TRUTH in
their music. All these bands have left an indelible trace in the music of WRETCH but I would not
speak about stealing at all. I am very curious about their show as it does
sound really great from their recording. The gents will fly to us for the first
time in their history and I do believe it will be worth it!!!
Bio
Wretch spit out grinding venomous rage, with unabashed influences from death metal, thrash, punk, and hardcore, all ham-fistedly smashed together with a rough-and-ready, D.I.Y sound, and lyrical content which is as tongue-in-cheek as it is outright belligerent.Wretch was formed in 2011 in Canberra, Australia, by Duncan,
Nafe, and Bob, who had played together in previous bands and who had a common
passion for grindcore, particularly bands such as Pig Destroyer, Napalm Death,
Brutal Truth, Nasum, and Lock Up.
The trio enlisted the band’s first vocalist, Joel Pea, to
self-release The Senseless Violence EP (2012) and full-length Because You’re
Worthless (2013). Both albums were largely recorded, mixed and mastered by the
band.
Following the departure of Joel in 2013, Benji Bourne —who
had rehearsed with the band in 2011 and was, in fact, the band’s first choice
of vocalist – joined the band. This line-up headed into the studio in January
2015 to record their sophomore full-length album Tirades (recorded by Adam Merker
at Studio Anders Debeerz, and mastered by Roby Blastasfuk of the Kill). Shortly
after, Wretch enlisted Marcus Honeyman (formerly guitarist with Tortured) to be
the band’s first bass player.
Since forming, Wretch have played so many shows that they all
seem to blur together, some notable highlights include sharing the stage with
Cattle Decapitation, Shady Glimpse, GxSxDx, Jig Ai, Cripple Bastards, The Kill,
Weekend Nachos, Captain Cleanoff, Thy Art is Murder, Sinister, King Parrot,
Disentomb and Dawn of Azazel.
