A body of work that culls from various styles woven together into what Massachusetts-based punks A Wilhelm Scream appropriately call "A Wilhelm Sampler," Lose Your Delusion finds the accomplished rock quintet at its most daring, experimental and cohesive. Recorded at Anchor End Studio in New Bedford, MA and produced by guitarist/vocalist Trevor Reilly and James Whitten, the songs on Lose Your Delusion appeared as somewhat of a mirage for the band over several years during moments where the members of A Wilhelm Scream – Nuno Pereira (vocals), Trevor Reilly (guitar, vocals), Jason Milbank (guitar), Brian Robinson (bass, vocals) and Nick Angelini (drums) – privately went through a slow, rough stretch of uncertainty. This period, however, raised the stakes and renewed a strong focus felt during the band's early days, which centered around connecting with fans on an emotional level and providing strength to those who found it in the music. As a band playing punk rock for over a decade, its members haven't focused on success or image – it's the ideal of music coming from an honest place that they strive to be their lasting legacy. Despite operating just below the radar, A Wilhelm Scream have carved out a reputation as one of the best live bands around, bolstered by their staggeringly rich albums of ultra-technical melodic punk rock. Playing 250+ worldwide shows each year, the band possesses a work ethic that can only be described as "heroic." "I guess it's because you never know when your new album is gonna be your final album so you really wanna put all ya got into it," Reilly sums up. "That's the legacy I want our band to leave behind when all is said and done." www.awilhelmscream.com www.facebook
