The debut full length album by Everett’s Sleepover Club! W(PH)OOPSIE! delivers 16 rage-fueled, hard-hitting, gut-wrenching punk rock songs that the Pacific Northwest has long been known for. Recorded in Seattle at Pierced Ears Recording Co, W(PH)OOPSIE! takes the themes from Sleepover Club’s previous release, My Other Dad Is Your Ride, and expands them into 'broader sonic horizons'."
Check out the band at a free, all ages performance here at the shop!
“Heads may know Select Level mastermind Andy Sells best as the limber drummer for soulful fusion explorers Afrocop or as the bassist for noisy prog-rockers Nosretep... or maybe even for his stint in electronic brainiacs FCS North, who existed from 1997 to 2007. This talented Seattle multi-instrumentalist has established that he can get weird and far out in various situations. Select Level finds Sells veering off on a tangent into the realm of sleek music geared for dancing and romancing.” Photography by Jasmine Kara | Words by Dave Segal.
