Adam Widener- Vesuvio Nights LP ~EX BARE WIRES!

Adam Widener- Vesuvio Nights LP.  Speakertree Records in Charlottesville, VA has just churned out this killer debut long-player from Bay-area wonder-kid ADAM WIDENER who’s done damage the Zygoteens and Bare Wires and has left his mark over the last year with two scorching singles. Vesuvio Nights clocks-in with 14 blistering tracks loaded with glam and drenched in fuzz, evidenced by the stomping jangle of “Laughter On Your Heels I’ll Follow.” The track is tight with swift percussion and a wonky bass line, all of which is performed by Widener himself. He’s at it again in the self-titled track “Vesuvio Nights,” showing off a glittery lead guitar to go with a throbbing bass line. It’s ecstatic and propulsive, crafting a form of melodic, punk-inflected pop with a relentless twang. Fans of the Matthew Melton school of Rock N Roll will be all over this, you know... Bare Wires, Warm Soda, Snake Flower 2 etc.  Shouldn’t be a surprise as Matt Melton mastered this one himself at Fuzz City.
