Wrong (reissue) CD

Vancouver punks Nomeanso were already a decade into their career when they released Wrong, their fourth studio album, in 1989. It quickly became a cult classic and remains, to this day, the finest example of the Canadian band's distinctive take on punk - albeit with a dash of "math rock" malevolence thrown in. Underscored by oodles of energy, it's a tidal wave of sweat-soaked, up-tempo drumming, gnarled punk-rock riffs, impassioned vocals and ten-ton bass. Highlights include - but are in no way limited to - the brilliantly titled 'Brainless Wonder', the insatiably funky 'Big Dick', the low-slung headiness of 'Rags and Bones' and the squally 'All Lies'.
