Wussy is a four-piece rock band hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio. Fronted by ex-Ass Ponys frontman Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker, the band formed in 2001 after Cleaver's stage fright led to them performing together for a brief run of solo shows. The duo's first show went well, prompting them to continue and expand their musical journey.
Joining forces with Mark Messerly on bass and utility man duties, as well as Dawn Burman on drums, Wussy released three full-length albums and one EP on their native Cincinnati's Shake It! Records. Their music has garnered critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, SPIN, Village Voice, NPR, Washington Post, Uncut, and other press outlets.
The band underwent changes when Burman left in 2009 and was replaced by veteran Cincinnati drummer Joe Klug. The revamped lineup embarked on an Eastern U.S. tour in 2009 while also recording two vinyl-only singles. Wussy continues to captivate audiences with their unique sound and are set to release their fourth full-length album.

Wussy return with their newest, darkest offering yet. With songs inspired by the “Fargo” TV show (Gloria), daredevil stunts and the atom bomb (One Per Customer), Charles Burns’s “Black Hole” (Tall Weeds, Cake, Black Hole) and seemingly endless months of incessantly bleak news cycles. The writing duo of guitarists/vocalists Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker, with bassist Mark Messerly, drummer Joe Klug and pedal steel player John Erhardt, echo their Midwestern American landscape as a sustained drone, accented with jagged guitar, small rays of hope and a shimmering orchestra on of cello, bowed bass and 70s synthesizer. And of course, noise... always noise. Much of this album was written in the studio, including two tracks composed on-the-spot as the tape was left running. In a departure for the group, the LP also includes two covers: 1977’s Aliens in Our Midst by cult Sacramento band The Twinkeyz, as well as a cover of singer-songwriter Kath Bloom’s wearily beautiful Oblivion.
