Liverpudlian pop-punk quartet, WSTR, are thrilled to finally be announcing the completion and release of their debut album. Entitled 'Red, Green Or Inbetween', the record is set for release on January 20th, 2017 via No Sleep Records.
After the heralding success of their debut EP - 'SKRWD' (No Sleep Records - Sept 2015), the band have gone from strength to strength and achieved many accolades that most acts don't achieve off the back of only one EP. 2016 saw WSTR repeatedly circuit the UK and Europe with international touring bands such as Neck Deep, A Wilhelm Scream, Moose Blood & Creeper, and were welcomed onto established festival slots, at Slam Dunk Festival, 2000 Trees, Hevy Fest and Butserfest.
"When we started the band we were all in a situation of waking up every morning, going to work, coming home, going to sleep," recalls Sammy Clifford, vocalist - when explaining the origins of his band's blunt moniker; "It felt like we were just wasted space & not really doing much with our lives other than working. To be honest, that situation hasn't really changed other than now we're really broke due to band commitments. But, this band has given us all something to do & to be proud of; like, we aren't prepared to just settle for a boring, generic lifestyle and we're doing something about it."
