Wwax, "Just Like" 1987
from the Palindrome Productions singles box, "evil i do not/to nod i live"

Wwax was Mac McCaughan's pre-Chunk/Superchunk combo, offering a good taste of what was to come next from Chapel Hill. The band released three or four singles; this one came in a artfully decorated box. with ones from four other bands (including another Mac-powered group).

Drummer Brian Walsby also pounded sticks for a number of other bands including Patty Duke Syndrome, Polvo, Daddy and Scared Straight, but has made his biggest mark creating covers as a comic artist.

The box, Mac's production project before founding Merge Records, haunted me for weeks from the back of the record store shelf before I buckled.

Band Members:
Brian Walsby - Drums
Mac McCaughan - Guitar
Wayne Kerr - Bass
