Like a Midwesterner two pitchers deep, Seattle slacker punks, Wimps, drop the definite article. Wimps, not to be confused with The Wimps (a 70s London power pop group and what sounds like a teen sex romp comedy starring Michael Cera), announced their presence in early 2012 with a self-released five song EP.  Packed with a clangorous, snotty charm it sounds as if it was recorded live with minimal takes (it almost certainly was) and Wimps quickly proved themselves to be a welcome addition to the Seattle scene.
