Some songs are simply too potent to fade into obscurity, and ‘Wifey’ by Convertible is a primary instance. Half a decade could have handed because the duo first despatched shockwaves via the airwaves with their seminal Trim EP, however it could be prison to not revisit the raucously electrical revival of dive bar hedonics. If blues-soaked rock rhythms and foot-stomping euphoria are your vices, ‘Wifey’ has the chew to maintain you hooked.
Born within the depths of Melbourne’s indie rock scene, Convertible—Marc Cifali (vocals, guitars) and Manny Mason (drums)—have been refining their signature sound of uncooked power and anthemic hooks since 2018.
‘Wifey’ doesn’t waste time with saccharine sentimentality because it breeds romanticism again into rock n roll. As an alternative, it resurrects the heartbeat of classic rock ‘n’ roll, infusing it with fashionable swagger and riffs so tight they may ship you right into a catatonic trance.
The Trim EP is sufficient to get you in your knees and pray for one more launch; it is perhaps time to start out lighting candles. Till then, ‘Wifey’ stays a testomony to the band’s artistic zenith, proving that true rock ‘n’ roll doesn’t simply survive—it prowls.
