After nearly three decades, the DC post-hardcore trio Regulator Watts have returned. Former Hoover frontman Alex Dunham formed Regulator Watts with bassist Cret Wilson and drummer Areif Sless-Kitain in 1996, and they released the lurching, mathy 1997 album The Aesthetics Of No-Drag<\/em> before breaking up a year later. Last year, though, the band released an odds-and-ends compilation<\/a>, and Dunham and Sless-Kitain went on Vish Khanna’s Kreative Kontrol<\/em> podcast to announce<\/a> that they were working on new music. Now, we get to hear their first new song in 29 years.<\/p>\n This summer, Regulator Watts will release their new EP kWh<\/em>, which they recorded with Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou at Steve Albini’s Chicago studio Electrical Audio. On opening track “It’s Gonna Happen,” they sound like they’re fully locked-in once again. It’s a sharp, passionate riff-beast that constantly changes grooves without losing its forward momentum. Below, check out “It’s Gonna Happen” and the kWh<\/em> tracklist.<\/p>\n TRACKLIST: The kWh<\/em> EP is out 8\/14 on Solid Brass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stereogum.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After nearly three decades, the DC post-hardcore trio Regulator Watts have returned.
