Wednesday 13 is using this weekend to celebrate their new album “Mid Life Crisis”. At the same time, the single, featuring Taime Downe from Faster Pussycat, “No Apologies” has been released.
“This is the rockiest song I’ve written in years. I wanted to go back to my roots and those roots are in 80s glam rock. The number one name on that list was Faster Pussycat, so it was completely logical to ask Taime Downe to join me on this track. It was an honor to have one of my rock’n’roll idols in the studio with me. We put together a suitably outrageous middle finger for ourselves, and the result is No Apologies,” Wednesday 13 says.
Wednesday 13 describes the upcoming album as fun, funky and something that you can listen to and leave your brain in a state of shock and rock with rage. The album was produced by Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver). It promises to be quite a blast, spiced up with elements of 1980s sleaze metal. The album also features Taime Downe from Faster Pussycat.
“Growing up in the 80s, I remember the satanic panic and parents’ concern about what their kids were listening to. My mother would constantly check my cassettes and make sure I wasn’t possessed by the devil. Most of the music I listened to never had any of those themes, but they were just accused of it, so I let myself make a song that would horrify my mother. I wanted the lyrics to be open and leave no doubt about what they were about. This song was made in a fun spirit, and we’re not going to burn down churches in the future,” Wednesday 13 says.
The band began a tour of the United States in March, and they will also be hitting Europe in the summer, playing selected festivals and touring the UK.
