1994 Jacket Cover

The illustrious three-piece punk band w.o.d. are gearing up for a western release of their critically acclaimed LP 1994 on vinyl. 1994 is now available for purchase through He’s Trying Records. This release marks the band’s first physical record that will be available to a western audience. 

1994 is the band's sophomore release, featuring fan favorites such as “Mayday”, and the title track “1994”. The album was named after the year each band member was born while drawing from the loud grunge that defined the era. With lyrical themes ranging from societal frustration to feelings of anxiety, w.o.d. capture the existential chaos we experience everyday. While rooted in punk, 1994 is like a powder keg going off. The palpable energy of 1994 is infectious and undeniable.
