Our Take

American Wrestlers latest offering, "Goodbye Terrible Youth," is a rollercoaster of emotions that will leave you wanting more. The indie-rock band, hailing from Missouri, delivers a sound that is both hauntingly beautiful and irresistibly catchy.

The album kicks off with the infectious track "Vote Thatcher," a politically-charged anthem that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Lead singer Gary McClure's vocals are raw and emotional, drawing you in from the very first note. The band's signature lo-fi production gives the songs a gritty, DIY edge that is both nostalgic and refreshing.

Tracks like "Someone Far Away" and "Real People" showcase American Wrestlers' ability to craft hook-laden, radio-friendly tunes that still maintain their indie credibility. The album's title track, "Goodbye Terrible Youth," is a standout moment, with its dreamy guitars and melancholic lyrics painting a picture of lost innocence and longing.

Overall, "Goodbye Terrible Youth" is a solid effort from American Wrestlers. While there are moments where the songs feel a bit derivative, the band's unique sound and heartfelt lyrics more than make up for it. Fans of indie rock will definitely want to give this album a listen. Grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let American Wrestlers take you on a journey through the highs and lows of youth.
