Music Ruins Lives

"Wreck And Reference are redefining heaviness within rock music. In fact, on listening to the duo’s latest EP, Black Cassette, one could be
convinced that the guitar’s 60-year reign may soon be toppled. The band has forsaken magnetised strings altogether in favour of a solely electronic palette, to utterly devastating results. Where similar projects like Life In The Dark explore misery in hushed ambience, Wreck and Reference’s despair is direct, violent and furious.

As dense and crushing as any regular sludge/doom cohort, Wreck and Reference rely on synthesizers, samples and heavy-handed drumming to shape vast, crackling chasms of drones and feedback into remarkably melodic and heavy pop. Pop used in the most sparing sense possible, of course. The band’s name also hints towards the methods underlying these brilliant creations." - LURKER
