Gritty Birds heads to Treefort Music Fest in Boise, where I talked to Seattle-based punk band Wimps about gentrification, their favorite Seattle haunts and their advice for artists coming up.
Wimps New Record
Wimps latest full length, Suitcase came out late last year with Kill Rock Stars. Keeping a light and self deprecating vibe to infectious punk, the band has been busy on tour and will be playing Sasquatch Music Festival this coming May.
