Why the Messthetics' 'Better Wings' is a Song You Need to Know
guitarwork, but out-and-out solos? Not so much. That’s why it’s so fascinating to hear the post-hardcore heroes’ rhythm section, bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty, playing in a new group, the Messthetics, that’s practically built around the idea of giving the guitar room to soar.
Case in point: “Better Wings,” a recently released track from the instrumental trio’s upcoming second LP,out September 6th. After setting up a driving riff, guitarist Anthony Pirog — a seasoned player equally steeped in jazz, surf, punk, and roots music — shifts into whirring lines that complement Lally and Canty’s fleet, muscular groove.
The moment feels completely apt in context, a testament to the Messthetics’ skillful integration of punk scrappiness with a brand of unabashed virtuosity that might have once seemed highly unusual for a band releasing albums via legendary D.C. indie Dischord. Pirog’s tasteful flash only gets more audacious from there, before Canty and Lally drive the song home with an emphatic half-time outro.
Overall, “Better Wings” and the Messthetics’ approach as a whole serves as a reminder that hardcore has always had its exploratory, fusion-leaning wing: Think of Black Flag’s
