In Las Vegas, there is an amazing music scene with rock bands covering a wide variety of genres. While I admittedly gravitate more toward the hard rock and heavy metal that regularly arise in Sin City, there’s one band at the opposite end of the spectrum that’s won me over in recent years – Wheelchair Mosh Pit.
Do you remember those days in the late 90s and early 2000s when pop-punk bands owned the world? Apparently the members of Wheelchair Mosh Pit remember, because they resurrect this sound like no other band on the Vegas scene, and that’s certainly a welcomed change from the endless droves of cover bands that continue to arise.
The Vegas pop-punkers are back with their latest release, an EP entitled PRODUCT OF MY CULTURE. Once again, the group continues to combine infectious pop-punk medleys with their signature sense of humor. One need only look at the covers of their releases or watch one of their music videos to see what sets them apart from the rest in Vegas. It’s a short but sweet release, with melodies and lyrics that’ll be stuck in your head long after you listen. The group also utilizes multiple vocalists, both male and female, and the contrast between the two is one of the group’s greatest assets musically, giving them an added sense of diversity over many bands performing in a similar style. Their themes and lyrics are relatable, and once you listen to these guys once, you’ll want more. I promise you that.
The PRODUCT OF MY CULTURE EP once again puts Wheelchair Mosh Pit front and center, doing what they do best. These guys have resurrected that classic pop-punk sound and put their own humorous spin on it, and this rock fan is always eager to see what the band releases. It may be the best release yet. Very highly recommended!
