Besides having one of the cooler band names I’ve heard in a while (reminds me of this shirt), this Scottish foursome is planning to take SXSW by storm. WWPJ is also scheduled to release a new album in May. Kinda sounds like Mogwai (yeah the Scotland thing probably the comparison) covering Thursday’s “Understanding In a Car Crash”.

Bonus:

“Quiet Little Voices”(mp3 via sxsw)
