Screwed 02:45
There you are the king of pain No one cares yr full of shade/shame Trying hard to bake your veins With alcohol and cocaine Just go! Your life Is a waste of time But I’ve got no plans for mine What do you do? What do you do when you’re screwed? In place Have a bit, just in case Not too much, it’s much too late Pick your plot full of poison How’s it feel to have no choice in Your life Is a waste of time But I’ve got no plans for mine What do you do? (What do you do?) What do you do when you’re screwed? In place 
I don’t need you anymore…. Every strain is the same….

Spells 01:47
Never could get used to The way you ran your mouth Everyone that knew you had headed south Nothing like the West For the final test Nothing like the West For the final test Seven spells In the back of my pocket Seven hells Trapped in your locket Never would behove you To be more like me But it’s true you Were more than free Nothing like the East For the final feast Nothing like the East For the final feast Seven spells In the back of my pocket Seven hells Trapped in your locket Seven spells In the back of my pocket Seven hells Trapped in your locket Just use me up, up Just use me up, up You use me up, up You used me up, up You use me up, up You use me up, up

Thread 02:06
I don’t know how but I’m hanging on To a thread that I held in my hand when you were my friend I don’t know how but I’m moving on From a thread that I held in my hand that we could not mend When they made you They broke the mold
 So how’s it feel to Be bought and sold? I don’t know how but I’m sorting through All the threads that I hold in my head are not for you I don’t know how but I’ll make it through With the friends that I hold in my hands who are not you When they made you They broke the mold So how’s it feel to Be bought and sold?

Size 03:06
I’ve made up my mind This’ll be the last time I fall into line 
for you Stop taking my time Stop being so blind I thought you could find The truth (can you?) The need to bleed is vanishing (Somehow) Consistency can’t balance me (Not Now) 
I’ve had a good time I’ve tried the best minds I never did find My type Still hidden in sight I don’t need no rights/lights I thought I would find My right (prototype) The need to bleed is vanishing (Somehow) Consistency can’t balance me (Not Now) The need to bleed is vanishing (Somehow) Consistency can’t balance me (Not Now) You cut me down to size You cut me down to size You cut me down to size (gotta go, gotta go) You cut me down to size…

Hints 02:25
I can't deny Been wasting my time trying to make you mine I've wasted my time trying to make you mine I'm so far gone Been living this life for way too long Been living this lie for way too long When will you learn? You wasted your life just waiting your turn You wasted your life just waiting your turn T here is no "we" Been the same since day you met me And half of us knew it already I know I'm far from mint Don't think I missed Any of your hints I know I'm far from mint Don't think I missed Any of your hints

You’re playing games And I’ve gone down This road before in this small town We’re not the same Can’t get out Before my head’s full of doubt I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do With You I am okay Got knocked down What came before can’t be found We are the same We got out Before our heart filled with doubt I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do I want Nothing to do With You

Terms 03:08
You forgot about me (Hanging round in the lost and found) You forgot about me (Hanging round in the lost and found) No one could see (Hanging round in the lost and found) What you did to me (Hanging round in the lost and found) A diatribe full of lies It’s much quicker than the truth Whatever you gotta do To prove to the world yr cool I’ve been digging my own grave I’ve been living my own way I’ve seen you break your promised word While I’ve been digging on my terms Don’t forget about me (Kicking round in the lost and found) Don’t forget about me (Kicking round in the lost and found) No one can see (Kicking round in the lost and found) What you did to me (Kicking round in the lost and found) A diatribe full of lies It’s much quicker than the truth Whatever you gotta do To prove to the world yr cool I’ve been digging my own grave I’ve been living my own way I’ve seen you break your promised word While I’ve been digging on my terms Digging on my terms Digging on my terms

Bold 02:40
Train wakes the dead-end son Just another reason for him to run I’m gonna go away, way back home Get clean and join the drones So I walked to my favorite lake You know the one where we held your wake It was dry and it was cold But the way it felt was Oh So Bold So! Take a stab Don’t get mad It’s in the hook And girl You’ve got the look You know I double you / I'm "W" I’ll steal everything you do Wrap it up and mail it back to you Get my life as far from you as I can And in this way we’re just the same Stealing everybody else’s name They will fold and we may fail
 But the way we move will make the sale / sail So! Take a stab Don’t get mad It’s in the hook And girl You’ve got the look I don’t know why I still ask for your time I don’t know why I still ask for your time Your time, Your time Your time, I’ll try next time Your time, Your time, There’s no time, I’ll try next time

"Cool Band"

"Got a new one from an RSTB fave, Bobby Hussy, today. Hussy’s new group Wristwatch finds its jagged sneer from the very first moments of their eponymous new LP. “Screwed” leaps onto the speakers with a venous guitar chewing at the brain with no mercy. The bile burn and bone crunch of the track is pushed by the chaotic snap of electronic drums and synths that ride skirt the fray with dark intentions. The song brings to mind the burnt wire bliss of Angry Angles or Mind Spiders, with tethers reaching back to Screamers territory as well. Fans of Bobby’s catalog (The Hussy, Cave Curse, Fire Heads) should be more than satisfied with the burn that Wristwatch is laying down. The new LP is out July 23rd from FDH Records."

"WRISTWATCH asks the question, “What if the SPITS went for more of a synthy dance party vibe?” This is punk rock that turned down the RAMONES and added a lot more DEVO. This is what ATOM AND HIS PACKAGE would sound like much angrier and looking for a fight. This synth-garage duo is charmingly grating and forcibly danceable. You will fail to keep your hips still while jamming to this one. Coming from Madison, Wisconsin, they bring the music like only the Midwest can. If we can get this duo on tour with DEVON KAY & THE SOLUTIONS, KITTEN FOREVER, and DIRECT HIT!, it will be the greatest lineup the greater Milwaukee/Chicago area has spit up in a long time. This is the first release from WRISTWATCH, but if the two members can sit still without going back to their multiple other bands or just creating a few more, this project can have some long and interesting legs. Start with the track “Screwed,” and see if you can stop listening. You won’t. Blast it loud and preferably while standing up with nothing fragile nearby. Better yet, find a show and throw your show dollars at them so they keep it up."

"Bent and wrecked punk rock that doesn’t sound typical by any stretch. In the realm of the Screamers and Ausmuteants, Wristwatch crank out hyper and jittery music that sounds like a carnival from hell. The drum machine makes this whole thing sound crazy and out of control. It’s almost sonically overwhelming if you lock in on the beats. Lyrically, a lot of songs about breaking up, but the tempo is too up to be morose and forlorn. “Hints” sounds like the Strokes meeting Beautiful Skin. The closer “Bold” sounds completely different from the other nine tracks—and perhaps the most “normal”—but still not conservative and staid. Pretty good!"
- Matt Average - Razorcake

"It’s mid-tempo poppy punk with a drum machine and exaggeratedly warbly vocals that distinctly recall Jay Reatard."
