Later this month Numero Group are releasing their second of four box-sets cataloging seemingly almost everything ever by one of my favourite bands of all time: Unwound. The band has been such an overwhelming influence on me that you would be hard-pressed to find a band that I was in past the age of 16 where I did not in at least some way exercise the influence they has had on me (Jacuzzi Suicide an obvious exception). And it seems like over the years it gets stronger and stronger, which is rare for a band one has adored for half of their life. Needless to say I'll be buying this box-set too soon enough.
Vice dropped not only an interview but also, more importantly, an unreleased track on us today! Anyone who likes Unwound even half as much as I will be excited. I'd like to also point out that interviewer Zachary Lipez led me to a really good analogy thanks to one of his questions: Unwound are the Motorhead of 90's independent American rock. If you are unfamiliar with Unwound and that doesn't make you want to listen to them immediately well, I guess you're just hopeless.
