Strawberry
A feature on Wussy was included in rock critic Robert Christgau’s October 2018 anthology, Is It Still Good to Ya?: Fifty Years of Rock Criticism, 1967-2017 (Duke University Press).
The Many Reasons to Love Wussy was originally featured in The Barnes & Noble Review on March 6, 2012.
“Wussy have been the best band in America since they released the first of their five superb albums in 2005, only nobody knows it except me and my friends.” - Robert Christgau
WUSSY - Pizza King (Live at KEXP)
Wussy presents a video mashup of their song "Pizza King" (from 2012’s Strawberry) set to scenes from Marcos Valle's 1980s "Estrelar" video.
“Before Wussy vocalist Lisa Walker uprooted to Cincinnati and co-founded one of America’s most critically acclaimed bands, she grew up bored and restless in Muncie. This droning slice of Midwestern ennui name-checks her hometown in addition to Terre Haute, Valparaiso, pay lakes, and the state’s greasiest homegrown pizza chain.” – Indianapolis Monthly
Also be sure to check Wussy’s live version of “Pizza King”, recorded at KEXP in 2014.
WUSSY - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)
WUSSY - Teenage Wasteland (Live on KEXP)
Wussy performed live at Seattle’s KEXP studios on June 20, 2014, receiving the first ever Midday Show encore!
From KEXP: “We’re glad to see more and more listeners and critics take notice of the the Cincinnati band’s dynamic 90s-steeped pop-rock sound. And they’re as much fun to talk to as hear them perform, so it was no surprise that Cheryl would ask them to keep playing after their fourth song for the first ever encore on the Midday Show!”
