The Wounded Knees

The Wounded Knees are Jimi Shields (Rollerskate Skinny, Lotus Crown, Martina Topley-Bird), Suzanne Thorpe (Mercury Rev, Forest for the Trees, thenumber46), and Phil Williams (Hopewell, Evil Twins). The pirate-punk trio were united by dissatisfaction.... As their latch-key-child government embezzled its' own conscience and crossed-their-hearts-hoped-to-die lied about everything.....confusion turned to sound.... Like lightning cracking an old oak tree, the anthems of All Rise were born. The Wounded Knees are sometimes joined live onsatge by J Mascis. J plays atomic guitar on the track, "Dirty Exploding Sonic Dogfight",(recorded live@Tonic NYC), simply known as "Dirty", on the All Rise EP.All Rise has been released by Specific Recordings on 10" vinyl format.
