UNRELEASED ALBUM:
Disassociate
12 tracks / Mixed and Mastered / Vinyl designed and ready for purchase order
Disassociate, the debut full-length from Richmond, VA quintet Wine & Warpaint, is an ambitious, rhapsodic introduction to the band’s signature blend of big hooks, punk edge, and wall of sound energy. Honed over three EPs and a covid cover album, the 12 track LP makes full use of the band’s musical breadth that led them to be recognized in 2021 as winners of the Player Plus Studio Sessions: Powered by Fender, where they were selected by a celebrity panel of music legends and executives as one of the 26 best unsigned bands in the world.
The album kicks off with the aggressive opener “The View’s So Good With Your Head in the Ground” that features an extended spoken word outro, setting the tone for the album’s left-of-center pop punk approach. The if-it-ain’t-broke straight-up rock energy of “Bad Nihilist” gives way to the modern emo pop stylings of “Bring Me Back” that would be right at home as a Bring Me the Horizon b-side. The 7/4 time signature change over screamed vocals in “Shattered” immediately segueing into the introspective duet “Is It Over” in some way gives credence to the genre-bending orchestral finisher “Synchrony”, if anything by setting the stage to expect the the unexpected.

Wine & Warpaint navigates an interior world decimated by loss, deconstruction, and depression while maintaining a paradoxical commitment to hope and optimism. Their signature blend of big hooks, punk edge, and wall-of-sound energy led to them being recognized as winners of the Player Plus Studio Sessions: Powered by Fender, where they were selected by a celebrity panel of music legends and executives as one of the 26 best unsigned bands in the world. A one-person-band in the studio, multi-instrumentalist Brandon O’Neill is joined live by Taylor Bess, Colleen Christman, Hunter Glotz, and Hannah Haupt.

In the studio, Wine & Warpaint is the conception of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Brandon O’Neill, who is joined live by Taylor Bess, Colleen Christman, Hunter Glotz, and Hannah Haupt. After working with Matt Goldman (Underoath, The Devil Wears Prada, Anberlin) for the first EP “HOMELESS”, O’Neill released a self-produced 9-song cover album as well as the band’s sophomore EP “Half to Life.” Their upcoming debut full length is produced by O’Neill and mixed by bassist Taylor Bess and Will Beasley (The Dangerous Summer, Turnstile, Asking Alexandria).
