Filmed live session by Weird Nightmare for KEXP radio in Seattle. Led by Alex Edkins, guitarist and singer of Canadian band METZ, Weird Nightmare trades in melodic, fuzz-drenched rock caught between power pop and noise, rooted in the golden 1990s. This full performance recorded at the KEXP studios is a lean, powerful live capture: several songs played live, no frills, with the signature grain of the Seattle station’s sessions. The format spotlights Edkins’s songwriting, the hooks and the project’s walls of guitar. A filmed live concert that is a perfect way into one of the most endearing independent rock acts around, framed by the intimate, discerning setting of a landmark radio session. The “Live on KEXP” sessions, broadcast from Seattle, are renowned for their sound quality and their discerning choice of independent artists. This capture belongs to a long series that has introduced international audiences to countless rock and alternative bands. For Weird Nightmare, this filmed live concert is a fine showcase, between abrasive riffs and luminous choruses inherited from 1990s rock.
