Born out of the OG mediafire scene in the dying twenty-tweens, Wieuca is known (to relatively few) for their heady mix of indie, post-hardcore, and Southern Gothic influences.
Based in Atlanta and Athens, GA, the band has modeled themselves after prolific ’90s lo-fi acts like Guided By Voices, with over 40 releases to date. What if Ween was heavy? What if Beck was emo? What if bands from the Elephant 6 Collective sounded like they’d ever heard a rap song? With blistering guitars and glitchy electronics, Wieuca’s sprawling catalog provides a futuristic and aggressive take on ’90s oddball favorites.
Having collaborated with artists ranging from indie darling Faye Webster to Three 6 Mafia’s La Chat, Wieuca’s calling card is finding creative—and often bizarre—ways to bridge disparate subgenres and play with their tropes. Pitchfork’s late Ray Suzuki summed it up nicely:
“Wieuca doesn’t have any love songs. This is music for fighting in a Home Depot parking lot.”
