Oozing Wound have one of the most descriptive and visceral band names out there — doesn’t it instantly recall some particularly gory incident you had as a child after you fall off a fence in the middle of Central Park? Or a scab from a mosquito bite that you just could not let alone, despite your mother’s scolding? I KNOW you’re out there, fellow scab-pickers.
Stop searching yourself for crusty injuries, now, and pay attention: The thrashy Chicago rockers are touring in October and November, on the heels of their sophomore LP Earth Suck. They’ll be playing a special Halloween show at the almost-defunct Brooklyn venue Death By Audio, and joining labelmate Black Pus (who released a split with the band earlier this year) in Providence, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. Gnarly.
Earth Suck is out October 21 on Thrill Jockey.
