For our April cover story, the members of Wednesday (Wednesday_band_) share how they made their new album 'Rat Saw God', found inspiration in Veronica Mars and are now on their way to becoming the loudest band in the world. Story by matt_mitchell48:
A Confederate General from Big Sur
Perhaps that is why Wednesday, a quartet-slash-quintet from the outskirts of Asheville, North Carolina, near the Blue Ridge Mountains, has reinvigorated my romance with the banal, sub-3,000-person township I grew up in—and inevitably moved back to once freelance work couldn’t sustain my rent in a capital city. Wednesday, they are actively working to transcribe a completely new category of geographical genre.
In turn, Lenderman joining the band has become the game-changer for Wednesday. Before he and Hartzman began dating over three years ago, she was a fan of his solo music without even knowing him. “He has records that aren’t online anymore that were out when I was still working in food service, dreaming of being in a band,” Hartzman says. “He was in high school. It’s crazy how long his music has been good as fuck and influencing me and tying into the culture of the Asheville scene.
“Bull Believer” is unique in how it tests the limits of Hartzman’s singing capabilities. Being that she is the main songwriter, you would think that her voice is pretty malleable to what each song’s arrangements require. However, it’s intentionally the opposite. “I like to write something purposefully out of my range, just to force myself to get better,” Hartzman says.
In “Chosen to Deserve,” she sings about having sex with someone in the back of an SUV; in “Bath County,” she writes about her and Lenderman, on their way to Dollywood, watching a man get a shot of Narcan after overdosing in a parking lot. For a while, she felt a bit of restraint when it came to going all-in on details, mostly for the sake of her parents not thinking those are active stories she’s living through anymore.
Where do Wednesday go next? “We’ve peaked. It’s all downhill from here,” Chelmis says, laughing, while trying to prop his phone back up on a patio table outside his house. His family is starting a farm, which Lenderman and Baechtold have been helping with. “I helped cut down some trees, do a little concrete,” Lenderman floats. But, in truth, Wednesday are en route to becoming the loudest band in the world, which isn’t always, initially, the hardest sell at the venues they tour through.
