The long awaited, much anticipated debut album from the progenitors of Solid Mass music. Wicked Louder brings devastating songwriting chops honed from absorbing 40 years of alternative music. Combining vintage and state of the art technology to synthesize a truly unique voice, Frustrated Mess is an entirely self-produced album of exceptional magnitude.

Wicked Louder crafts lyrics from an honest examination of real life situations. Songs like Heroin by Lou Reed or The Message by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five were inspirations for this music. The idea that the personal is political is drawn from albums like Carol King's 'Tapestry', X's 'See How We Are', Rush's 'Vapor Trails', or Nine Inch Nails 'Pretty Hate Machine' has a direct lineage to the necessity of the blues and jazz being vehicles for expressing how everyday situations for marginalized people can be a form of control.

Wicked Louder hopes that these songs capture and personalize these kinds of situations for the listener and that some catharsis is instigating that understanding.
