The veteran frontman enjoyed cult fame in the San Diego bands The Trebles in the ’80s and The Hoods in the ’90s. Since relocating to Australia 10 years ago, he has played in a band called The King Hits and surely dabbled elsewhere. Now he’s popped up as the lead guitarist, primary songwriter, and often singer of the Melbourne quartet Thee Wylde Oscars. Dodgy name aside, it’s a rowdy continuation of the specific vintage of music Wiseman holds so dear. Rounded out by three young guns, all of whom have adopted the last name Wylde for the album credits, the band has a jumpy, hungry sound on this debut album. They’re never touched by the melancholy of labelmates The Frowning Clouds, and there’s not a ballad in sight. There’s also none of their namesake’s trademark wit, which probably would have plunged this into pure kitsch. No, these are straight romps, all blurting hooks and plain-as-day lyrics shot directly from the hip. More often than not they’re expressions of romantic frustration – from the mid-album knockout ‘What About Me’ to the SMS-inspired ‘L.O.L.’. Wiseman has long favoured the harmonica, and the instrument is most prominent on the closing ‘All For Naught’, the only song written jointly between all four members of the band. There’s a trio of far-flung covers here, starting with the lighthearted threats of Johnny “Guitar” Watson’s ‘Big Bad Wolf’. The band later downplays the unhinged menace of ‘Nobody Can Tell Us’ by ’70s German punk outfit Pack, while retaining its anthemic defiance. The wild card, though, is a version of The Velvet Underground’s ‘White Light, White Heat’. Minus the druggy drone and chug of the original, it feels even older than it is, like something Chuck Berry or Little Richard might have cooked up. mp3:
