Meet Masonic Wave, a new Chicago band founded by guitarists Scott Spidale (God Damn Your Eyes) and Sean Hulet (Land of the El Caminos), and also featuring vocalist/saxophonist Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), bassist Fritz Doreza (Naked Raygun), and drummer Clayton DeMuth (Sybris).
The band shares their lead single today, "Bully," rooted in down to earth pub rock, and will release a self titled debut on April 12 on War Crime Records.
The press release explains:
The group developed organically as a project amongst friends and frequent collaborators. Hulet and Spidale had just ended another project, called Sünken Ships. As they were jamming with DeMuth at their practice space, Lamont happened to be in the building rehearsing with his band Yakuza, liked what he heard and knocked on the door. “He quickly joined the fold and the band was whole,” Spidale recalls. After adding in Doreza, shows, songwriting and studio time ensued, resulting in the frenetic energy of the debut LP that is a true study in musical comradery.
