J Mascis' Witch Issue Paralyzed, Hit the Road
They barely play live and they don't practice, but with a pedigree like theirs, why would they bother? Witch, the gnarly punkish-metal meet-up of Dinosaur Jr.'s J Mascis, old Mascis chum Dave Sweetapple, and Kyle Thomas of out-there folkies Feathers, will issue their sophomore effort, Paralyzed, March 18 on Tee Pee.
The disc, like its predecessor, ought to bewilder those looking for a searing Mascis shredfest, as the six-string king heads behind the drum kit where Witch is concerned.
And that "barely play live" thing? That may just be a thing of the past. Following a set at SXSW and a handful of U.S. dates, Witch will take to Europe for a few weeks in the spring.
In other Witch news, they're among the bands in Volcom's ongoing singles series.
