German Art Students
media release: GAS and Bobby Hussy join forces once again. We recorded the Rest Area Relief Ep with Bobby, and now we rock the Terrace with his band Wristwatch:
German Art Students manage to be subversive and slapstick at the same time, providing post-punk, Mad magazine-esque music to the world. Rolling Stone called it “nimble-witted new-wave pop.” - Andy Moore, Isthmus
WRISTWATCH asks the question, 'What if the SPITS went for more of a synthy dance party vibe?" This is punk rock that turned down the RAMONES and added a lot more DEVO. This is what ATOM AND HIS PACKAGE would sound like much angrier and looking for a fight. This synth-garage duo is charmingly grating and forcibly danceable. You will fail to keep your hips still while jamming to this one. - Maximum Rock and Roll
