White Vinyl Vinyl Records LP Vinyl Wingmen Wingmen, the new band formed in pandemic lockdown isolation by Baz Warne The Stranglers, Paul Gray The Damned, Leigh Heggarty Ruts DC and Marty Love Johnny Moped, are excited to finally unleash their studio bound creations with this eponymous release. Although Wingmens debut album was crafted in seclusion, theres no doubting that the albums ten songs, chock full of dynamic songwriting and performances, sound like a band, despite the unconventional way the album was fashioned. Although wed recorded various parts at our homes for our respective bands before, none of us had employed this process to make a complete album Only Marty and I had worked together before, so it was a complete leap into the unknown, says Paul. We all had loads of ideas to throw into the pot some songs arrived completely fully formed that we simply added our own parts to and others were more akin to musical sketches that ended up as cowrites. The album is a true collaboration inasmuch as none of us knew what parts or melodies or lyrics might be added by anyone else it was an immensely exciting process No rehearsals, no preproduction, just us winging ideas to and fro, with the drums going on last of all in the studio which is completely the opposite of how things are usually done, of course. The band are also eager to hit the road with the new material. Its funny how these things turn out, explains Paul. We had no idea where this project might take us an idea born out of frustration became a full band within 24 hours, words and riffs and much tuneage followed, beers and jolly banter ensued when we finally met up to mix the results, a record company said yes please and now we find ourselves taking the results off on tour And well be joined by Rob Coombes from Supergrass on keys its gonna be an absolute blast A limited edition LP pressed on White Vinyl.
