Get Slapped in the Face by Renny Wilson's "Proper Cop"

The restless Canadian rocker has a sudden 'Punk Explosion.'

Edmonton avant-punk weirdo Renny Wilson rips it up on a "Proper Cop," a single from his new album of helium-huffing hardcore. Seven years in the making, Punk Explosion is an unhinged hodge-podge of punk and garage rock that thrashes like a shark in a kiddy pool. And while Wilson calls the forthcoming LP Punk Explosion “his Chinese Democracy,” this particular cut feels a lot more like a scratchy Blood Brothers song than anything that Guns ‘N Roses ever did. The album drops July 10th via Mint Records.
