You Can Be A Wesley

About Me


Recent Press

If May is the month in which you typically hunt down your hot summer jam — and you’re not big on Auto-Tune — a quartet of Boston University students (just a few weeks shy of graduation) who call themselves You Can Be a Wesley may have the answer. “Creatures,” the set-ending song the foursome played at T.T. the Bear’s on Friday night, incited much drunken dancing, with appreciative yelps and limbs flailing, by what seemed to be the band’s sizable posse. Despite their obvious bias, YCBAW’s intoxicated pals were onto something: “Creatures” is a hook-fraught love letter to the guitar-heavy, indie-rock greats of the early ’90s (Pavement et al.), but not in a tired way. The song builds up momentum via lead singer Saara Untracht-Oakner’s anthemic chorus, then slows down at the bridge, just before she erupts in a burst of wails. - The Boston Phoenix Review May 2009
